Wow, you guys are going to start right by me. I should introduce myself. My name is Ken and I'm looking for a Porsche, probally a Boxster. I have always wanted one. Wish I had one so I could join you guys. Know of any that are available?

I just found this site this morning. I'm trying to understand the plus and minus of the different years and features. I test drove one last week that was not right, still liked it.

Tipstall, welcome to the Forum! There are a ton of used Boxsters in the market. Do your research, and you will be OK. Remember to do a PPI (pre purchase inspection).

Now, go get one! You have more the four weeks to get a deal done!

Paul,

That is awesome ! Ever since I saw the post from Tool Pants about "Lunch Laps @ Laguna Seca" I was wondering if there was something like that going on in this area. Count me in for Sunday. Will you be attending ? I am a member of the Chicago Region PCA but it would be nice to know someone from the Milwaukee region at the event.

I have always wanted to drive my Boxster on the track, but concerns about tire and brake wear keep me from doing a DE, so a low speed "tour" around the track sounds just like what the doctor ordered !

Thanks for the head's up, and hope to see you there...

Nick

Hey Nick, I'm up for Sunday at Blackhawk, too. I really like that track.

I'm also a Chicago Region PCA member, so what do I need to do to sign up?
