Ahh, stop yelling at me! I'm sorry.

The black never bothered me really. Now if ever I were to be rear ended, I'd go sans bumperettes. But I'm ok with the black. With so much goodness to look at in the front, I don't focus on the rear that much.

I'm looking for a silver 00' 986 with around 30 to 40K miles, I'd buy your car if only it was here in CA.

$21K including transport to CA?

I'm glad to hear you are sticking with the Box for now. Honestly, 3 series BMWs are a dime a dozen (at least here they are).

...and your car is special. No, not special like the kids on the short bus...special like one of a kind, understated and perfect.

I totally agree with the dime-a-dozen comment. Where I currently live (very poor rural area), you'll still see several BMW 3-series in the parking lot at the local grocer. Drive around, you'll see plenty of 3-series and A4s - but no porsches! They sure stand out.

If $$ is a concern, what about a used M3 or M roadster? I was considering buying a used M3 before I joined the boxster club.

Jeph, on Friday I was talking up your car to my friend who lives at the same place as you. Now this?! As a coworker put it, his G35 is the Honda Accord of Uptown and BMWs are not far behind. Now no more of this selling talk and we'll all forgive you.

Hey, Jeph, you have a great car!

I've thought about the used M3 route. I love those cars, my roommate has one -which is in the shop presently. Those seem to be more of a maintenance issue than Porsche. The main thing that bothers me about having an M3 is the fact that I would have an old body style while the new ones are out. That's not such a big deal (ie, my Boxster), but I love the look of the new 3s so much more that I would feel slighted every time I saw one. I don't care for the M Roadster. I like the new Z4 Coupes, but also out of price range (starting around 40k).

Timothy, after today's test drive, I'll be hanging on to the Boxster a little while longer I suppose. That's funny though... the G35 is the Accord of Uptown. By the way, do you live in Uptown as well? If so, we need to grab a burger at Chip's or Jake's or something.

Bmussatti, I was reminded how great of a car I have on my drive home from the BMW test drive. (But actually, I didn't drive straight home, I drove to the Porsche Dealership to get a closer look at the Cayman.) By the way, I'll be in Chicago the 3rd week of October. Let's round up the troops again!

I live downtown about five minutes from you. Burgers sound great!

I'm with Blinkwatt on this one. If you paint your bumperettes, your ride would look even better.

Jeph,

Your car rocks ! Glad to hear you are keeping it

I marked the calendar for October. Look forward to seeing you again...

I look forward to Chicago as always. Yet again, I wish my car were coming too, yet alas, it will be sleeping snuggly in the garage.

Earlier this year we did pizza, maybe this time around we could do Hot Dogs or something? Plus with it being Fall and all, more of you will actually bring your cars!

[Chills]

Glad to see you are keeping your Box. I absolutely love the front bumper/light combo. Very unique.
