I own a Porsche!

When I was a kid I had a 911 poster above my bed. At the bottom, in very tiny print, it had stats for the car. To the best of my recollection those stats were...

0-60: Blink of an Eye
Top Speed: Saturn V Rocket
Price: 1 Gajillion Dollars

I wanted to one day not only own a Porsche 911, I wanted to find that very car from the poster. I used to wonder who owned it and where the car was right at that very moment in time. I hoped they were taking very good care of it.

Then I grew up.

I never found that 911 from the poster, never bought a Porsche, never even had a sports car. I'd pretty much given up on the very notion of it, until today... when I drove my BRAND NEW (to me) Porsche home!

2003 Boxster silver with black interior with under 50K miles! It's is spectacular shape (or so I hope).

It was dark by the time I got home, it was hard to go to sleep, but I figured the faster I went to sleep the faster tomorrow would come and I could drive my new Porsche. I wasn't asleep long and I was awake, fighting the urge to go out and sit in it. So I've been watching YouTube videos instead. Saw lots of cool and interesting things, some scary things, finding out about the the IMS bearing was quite a shock! Eventually I stumbled on this forum.

It's great to be here!

You guys beat me here, but I think I'm sticking around for quite awhile. (Provided my IMS bearing holds out.)
