Well, I finally completed my purchase of a 1999 Boxster today!
I want to thank everyone for all the great info/advice I have gotten on this forum, it truly made the process MUCH easier and informative. Maybe I can start contributing at some point, instead of asking questions!
I could hardly sleep last night, honestly. Other than my house, this is the largest single purchase I have made. I guess I should take it as a good sign that today was the first day above 50 degrees since November. It allowed me to drop the top and even play a bit with a bright Yellow Lotus Elise that was out enjoying the sun also. Can't wait for Spring here...
Here's what she looks like:
