It's smog exempt here in California so it's wide open and loud!!! Great fun!!!
...I think I just drooled a bit there. How's it behave on the street as far as the ride? Does it have a serious dislike for bumps?

And maybe it's just the angling of the photo, but man that thing's short! Does the windshield top come to your waist or what? I'm no giant, but the roof of the Boxster's just below chest level for me.
