Great looking car, nice job!
Remember, the fluids on these older cars are vital. I recommend Red Line for the Box all around. As long as you avoid an engine/trans failure, you will stay ahead of the game.
Best of luck with the car.

Bump. Because this is what I am looking for. During my second year of auto-xing my NB I started looking for a real auto-x car. I felt kinda like Dean Jones in "The Love Bug" movie. I drove a Mini an IS300 a miata and a S2000 but with each test drive I would get back in my bug and think they just do not compare. I really love this car. Fast foward to last year and I saw a boxster sitting on a used lot and I new I had to do a test drive. So the next day me and the wife (I had to take her so the salesman would have to wait) take it for a spin. This is the first car that I actually walked away from thinking it could replace yelojkt. Randall I love the way your car looks, it has a simple elegance to it. And knowing how you love it makes it even better. Congratulations on your years of ownership of a sweet boxster.

I'll add to that! This past weekend I autocrossed the Boxster for the first time in nearly two years and I really had forgotten how much fun this car can be!

I never get to drive mine enough, as I'll only take it on nice days, when I can get the car good and warmed up (at least a half hour + drive). Now it's November in northern Illinois and I haven't driven for weeks; the car will go into winter hibernation before month's end.
Lot's of upgrade plans before next spring, since the car is now going to be nine years old with 19k miles on the clock...new water pump, for sure, and possibly the LN IMS upgrade.
I envy those who can enjoy their cars year around...

I just changed the oil and did the storage routine on mine yesterday while I had a decent day, they are calling for a snow mix tomorrow. Randall is without a doubt right, these are great little cars and if bought right provide phenomenal value / smiles for what they cost. Too bad this past summer here in the Midwest has been Hades on earth, I didn't get to drive it as much as I would of liked. The wifey still can't understand my occasional winter weekend night in the garage with an adult beverage, cigar and cover off of the car.

JTP, Just an effect, not a true Polaroid.
