Why began in child hood with a framed 930 evex turbo picture that still hangs on my wall. I always wanted a Porsche never thought I would ever own one until the financial crisis hit. Ironic in a way but I bought mine at a rock bottom price nearly 6 years later and 25,000 miles its still worth almost as much as I paid for it. From the day I brought it home I knew no matter what there would always be Porsche in my garage.

why?

It was one of my two dream cars...a Porsche and a vintage Ford Model T. Now I have two Porsche's and three model T's.

I'm so happy I can now answer this question! It's light, nimble, handles like a dream; Good power; looks fantastic; convertible, and yet has enough storage capacity for a weekend away. There is nothing else out there that fits all those criteria.

I bought mine because my 944 broke down and instead of putting more money into I decided to upgrade

I did have that at one time. I'm sure it's still around here somewhere.

I do Gran Turismo now, even though they use RUF the Boxster is one of the cars you can buy. Everyday I run the Boxster through the Nürburgring. That's my dream, to run my Boxster there.

Went out looking for a 4x4 truck, came home with a Porsche.

My 4x4 truck motor locked up at the beginning of February 2013. I went looking for another 4x4 to buy at the worst time of year to be buying one. Ran across my Boxster S at a dealership, which at that time was the time of the year to be selling a RWD 2 seater convertible. I drove it, loved it and pretty much stole it from the dealership.
