I am so sick I waited 33 years to get my first Porsche. The Box is just pure driving pleasure.

What is really interesting is, I don't even have to race at red lights anymore. I've had Mustangs, Camaros, and even a Suby WRX just submit and let me take off with out a challenge. 1st gear launches in the Box are insane. The car seems to get a lot of respect out on the road.

What a machine!

At last

I made the mistake of driving a friend's 2006 Boxter last fall, just before winter settled in. I was hooked. Yesterday, I bought a 2007 with less than 50k and in (seemingly) perfect condition. I drove it the 40 miles home and already have gotten my money's worth from it. I can't wait for summer now. I live in the Adirondacks of NYS very near the Vermont border and the roads here were made for this car.

Welcome to the Club and good luck with your new ride. Before moving to Florida, we lived in the lower Hudson Valley by Newburgh and you are correct; those roads are made for the box. I miss driving there. Everything in Fla is straight and flat; not much fun. BUT, at least we get to drive all year!!!
