Always appreciated cars - dad and uncles were mechanics. I was given "you have to take care of your car speech" my whole life. My first car was a 79 Camaro always thought my "mid life" car was gonna be a restored Camaro, Impala, or Corvair, but then the Boxster came along. Always liked Porsche but always out of my budget. I was driving the same Corolla S since 2001 because being married with 4 kids, it was my attempt to remain practical. Then I decided I wanted a car to call my own and I was tired of being practical. I've had a big boy job for the past 3 years so it was time. My wife is pretty down to earth and not a "nagging" wife. She was all for it. I found my 98 Boxster at a Porsche dealership - only had 50K miles and after the safety inspection they gave it a full 60K service and put new tires on it. I couldn't pass it up. Now I drive to and from work with a smile on my face. I figured out all of the back roads on my commute so no more boring bumper to bumper in my Toyota. The Corolla was good to me but I passed it on to my daughter - My Boxster has a hard top which I prefer the look over the soft top but I may take it off during summer, which I guess is the thing to do :dance:
