Congratulations - many more miles to you!

The speedometer is not innaccurate, it purposely reads 3-5 mph higher than actual - Porsche calls it a 'Safety Factor'.

I'll be joining you soon. I got my 2002 with 64K miles on it. I'm now at 93K. No major issues mechanically. The most expensive thing I've had to replace is the soft top and that's just because my plastic was cracked and I wanted a retro glass top. Within the first few months of ownership the local shop said I would need a new clutch and flywheel within six months at that time. 30K miles later my clutch is still going and my Boxster is running strong.
