I've been in a couple of extremely close calls and had the same time slowing experience. One being a semi taking my lane while on a motorcycle...I could count the lugnuts.

A friend sent me this to show me that it wasn't all in my head...or maybe it was.

Holy cr@p Husker - that really would have sucked. Personally I would love to upgrade my rear bumper and exhaust, but you definately don't need that on your new ride!

I've always thought that if you are getting in a crunch up - having the braking power of a Boxster (S in your case) will save you money.
In Canada:
You rear ending someone = your fault = $$$
You braking on a dime = rear ended = their fault

As you can see, I've all the angles on how owning a Porsche is cheaper than my old SUV. I've also convinced my wife that driving a convertible will help me live longer, but I'll save that for another thread.....
