Why doesn't everyone drive a Boxster?

IMHO a Porsche is one of the few vehicles you'd not want to do "performance" upgrades to. If I wanted to constantly add upgrades to it I would have bought a V8 Mustang or Camaro, or maybe Civic or WRX. Cars like that have lots of performance parts available that I could sink thousands on but I'd still be left with a Mustang, Camaro, Civic or WRX.

Not that those are "bad" vehicles, but they're certainly not porsches. Some even have the same engines as their grocery-getter counterparts.

Everyone should own a Porsche in their lifetime, I just bought a 2002 Boxster in Oct. of this year, it had 68K miles on it and all maintenance done on it by the old owner. He had over $5,500.00 in resets for the car, I paid $ 9,000.00 for it.

My point is, a used Porsche Boxster is a bargain no matter how you look at it. for the money you can not find a better handling convertible. This is my second Boxster,my first one was a 99. I drove it for two years and sold it for more money then I bought for. If you work on your Boxster yourself you will save a ton of $$$ they are not hard to work on and also fun to work on, IMO.

As a guy who has been riding motorcycles for 40 years and have owned 33 bikes in that time and still have 3 of my own, I can tell you Boxstering is the closest thing to riding. My wife and I call them the "4 wheeled motorcycle". Sometimes it reminds me of flying the 2 seat single engine low wing plane I learned to fly in.
