It Finally Happened !!!!!!

Who ever said that these cars were expensive, ha. I finally did it, I know, I just could not leave well enough alone. I bought my 2000 2.7L Boxster from a dealer last summer with 43K miles. I felt I got a good deal at the time as it seemed in very good shape and I paid 21,000.00 for the car out the door.

It has happened, I have spent more messing around with the car than the car cost me, and in less than a year!!!! Some of the cost was for things the car needed, most were not. The car looks and runs great, but it is still a 2000 2.7L boxster. Here is the list of my debauchery:

250.00 deambering
600.00 new plastic rear window
4500.00 TTP headers/100-cell cats/new oxygen sensors
950.00 30K service
700.00 new windshield
1200.00 new tires
1000.00 new rims
2500.00 TTP cold air intake, custom 2.7L Autothority chip
2000.00 upgraded stereo, outboard JL Audio Slash amps
575.00 new shift cables (dealer recommended, did not really need them...)
650.00 new brake rotors and pads
325.00 new MAF sensor
300.00 5mm wheel spacers
2300.00 new clutch with new lightweight flywheel
100.00 replacement wind deflector
100.00 module to allow top down while moving
200.00 Braille lightweight battery
450.00 new alternator
2400.00 Bilstein PSS9 coilovers (really great)

I think that comes to 21,100.00, or 100.00 more than I paid for the car, I guess I am going to have this car for some time now.....
