Having lusted for a Boxster 986 since I bought myself a scale model of a silver one in '99, I finally bit the bullet and got one in January! And the same color as the scale model, too! (if only the interiors were in red...)

43 years old... Regional Manager for a retail company

I bought my '97 base about 2 months ago and am having a blast making her my own. I've wanted a Porsche since I was old enough to speak and now I have one. When the kids leave the house (in other words, when I'm not broke), we'll see what the next Porsche will be.

45 - Senior IT consultant/tech prostitute in the process of starting my own MSP. I've run the gambit of cars. I've owned and restored several Mustangs and Shelby's, a couple of Plymouth Valiant convertibles, TT Fiero that was a test vehicle from Pontiac, a '76 Vette, Opel GT, Opel Manta, several 914's, 944's and 951's. my box is an '00 base that was supposedly a flood victim. Can't find any signs of water damage except some minor rust on the Immobilizer pc board. Currently not running but I'm going thru everything before I even attempt it.
