I Pulled The Trigger

Ok, after this thread and the one where the Scottish dude's dad got the Cayman SD 1 I'm officially jealous.

I went to Porsche's website and priced out the Box LE and the Cayman SD1. Both are affordable for Chills.... hmmmm.... and I owe less on my Box that what the trade in is estimated on KBB.

Must resist buying new Porsche. lol

I just got my BoxS a little over a year ago. I think I'm having withdrawls because I haven't driven it in 2 weeks.

Hey husker, if and when you decide to sell the Sport Design rims, let me know. They are my favorite and I would love to replace the 18" turbo twists we have currently.

Attached are some pics of the LE. The first 2 were when I first saw it at the dealer, the last 2 are now that it's mine. The last attachment is some POS junker they had on the showroom floor.

Enjoy

Chills-
Resistance if futile. There are some sweet deals out there right now. Woodhouse has an SD1. But you have a great color.

I dusted off this old post because today I made my final payment on Punkin. She's offically all mine now! :dance:

One thing I didn't mention in the original thread is I made the deal on New Years Eve but didn't pick her up until Jan 2. After making the deal, I started calling my family to tell them the good news. My mom, brother and sister all said I was making a mistake trading in my pretty Lapis Blue 01S. Only my sister in law said she liked the LE. So now I have to sit and think about it for 2 days - am I making a big, costly mistake? I liked the color (reminded me of a 70 Mach 1 color), but would I flame out on it after 6 mo?

Obviously I disregarded my family's advice and I've never looked back. I love the color as much or more today than I did 4 yrs ago. People hang out of their cars to take pics of her with their cell phones. I get compliments all the time. I even get special attn from Omaha's finest.

One final story - after I picked her up, I drove over to my mom's to show her the new car. She took one look at it and said with arms folded in disgust, "hmmph, it looks like a pumpkin". I thought that sounded like a good name - so from that time on she was known as Punkin.
