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?

No need to sign up, just show up to sign the release forms at the registration booth at the entrance to the track at least an hour before touring starts.
I will be there Sat and Sun.

Paul, thanks for all of the great info and links! I am really going to try to do the Driving Tour on the 22nd.
Chills and Nick, I'd like to do Blackhawk too. Let's stay posted on this as we get closer to the date.
