Why did you buy - your - Boxster?

I sold my business a few months ago after going through a bit of burnout and decided that I needed a convertible after living in Florida all these years. I have been a huge Porsche fan since I was a kid but never thought I could ever afford one. I bought the Consumer Reports Used Car Buying Guide and narrowed it down to the Boxster, Corvette Convertible, Audi TT, and BMW M3. I loved the interior styling of the TT but it was a bit of a dog. After my 1st drive in the Boxster S I was sold. I love everything about it. I joined a local PCA, made new friends on this forum, and asked my wife for the Porsche Driving Course for my birthday. Although we have never spoken, one of your fellow members - Perfectlap has given me an education in car detailing. I spent more money on towels than I did on my first car - lol. Financially this is the absolute worse move I have made in my life but it has brought so much enjoyment. My wife and I find an excuse to drive to the beach every day.

truth be told my Miata was allot more fun to drive. And not nearly as expensive to maintain. Someone offered me much dinero for my Miata so I decided to take the sure money. In retrospect I think that was a mistake but I couldn't get away with having two sports cars that only had four seats between the two.

But the BoxsterS is the only car that wouldn't have made me feel regret and its a zillion times safer.
