New Member - '06 Boxster S on order

[Carl AMG]

After passing on my Lotus Elise order slot because of the size of the car and anticipated challenges in the ownership experience, I test drove a Boxster S and was really impressed. Having loved Porsche since a kid because of a friend's father's Porsche and, more recently, my brother's '84 911 Carrera it didn't take much for me to think Porsche.

I worked out a fair deal with my local dealer for a July 1 build slot for an early 2006 Boxster S with late August delivery. It is pretty heavily optioned as far as performance options go:

2006 Boxster S 987
BASE Porsche Base Model
Y1 Seal Grey Metallic
V4 Metropol Blue Top
FC Sea Blue Sport Seats
C02 U.S. Standard/Emissions
P74 Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package
XCZ Sport Shifter
403 19" Carrera S Wheel
475 PASM
573 Automatic Climate Control
551 Porsche Windstop (Deflector)
342 Heated Front Seats
M6B Sea Blue Floor Mats
P01 Adaptive Sport Seats
639 Sport Chrono Pkg W/Out PCM
435 Sport Steering Wheel

The Boxster will join the stable with a '02 MB C32 AMG and a modded '03 Subaru WRX. I do quite a bit of autocrossing and track days and look forward to driving the Boxster in these events.

I'm glad I finally found a good Boxster board and look forward to reviewing it regularly.
