Are those all "your miles?" The real question here is that 7:47 AM or PM

I know it's late but I went out and took a few photos of my Boxster!

Thanks! Unfortunately they are not my miles. Only the last 7800 or so are mine.
time was 7:47am, on my way to work.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was losing sleep

I finally tried to wash my car using the Perfectlap method.

It turned out much better than I had expected. A couple more run throughs and I should have this down.

Took it to an event sponsored by one of the local Porsche dealers at one of the local breweries here in FT Worth. They displayed the new 718's and provided free beer and BBQ, what a great idea! They also gave out pint glasses with the Porsche emblem. I was interested in seeing and hearing the latest Boxster. O course the interiors are very nice and I do like the styling to a degree, but I still believe the original 986 is a timeless design/shape. The 718's are beautiful vehicles but when the S model was started up, well, it was disappointing to say the least. I talked to one of the salesmen and he admits, the 4 cylinder sound is just not the same as our 986's, especially with a sports exhaust. He flipped the sports exhaust switch on but I still was not impressed. That's a good thing though! Now I don't have to go out and buy one The sticker on the base was around $73K and the S model was around $84K. Both had the $3200 PDK option. Honestly, after sitting in these and hearing them, I love my 986 even more. I just can not see why I would get rid of mine I spoke with one guy there who had a one month old Cayman GTS, which was gorgeous in the Sapphire Blue Metallic, very nice. It was a nice evening, good food, even better beer and I have now saved myself a ton of money

Always good to hear and read from our devoted pilots! How are you Captain

Looks like you had a great time. Its a good thing I've just borrowed 3X what that car worth from my Bank 10months ago for silly machine tools and software. In debt for the next 8 years so I may be only able to pick one up in 9 years when they are $6,500.

In fact, having a sounding 4 cyl with fake burps, sure they'll be $3,500

Really like that car. They also come from factory with our Vivo Series projectors lolll

Hi nine8six,

burps is a very nice word. But i like to call it farts. Very sorry, don't wanted to be rude or offensive, but to me the gear changes of modern european cars mostely sound like farts.

Regards, Markus

Love the sound of my 986 but honestly think that the sound "issue" with the new 718s is overrated. But to each his own and I totally understand that point of view.

Burping, in some countries, is often considered a compliment. Ask me how I know, happened today at lunch again

Farting is also okay (apparently). Considered 'natural' lolllll Looks like the car is going to do better sale-wise in other continents

Doing well Fred, thanks! Personally, I like your projectors waaaaay better At $6500, I could probably find room for it!

finally posting pictures of my 01 Boxster
bought this is march and finally put about 40 hours into detailing the paint
a lot of late night hours in garage listening to music, sweating and lots of beers
5 stages used chemical guys product which I was pretty happy with a few cutting polishes, glaze, sealant,wax

[Myoung73]

Wow looks awesome and a great uncommon color. Very nice work! Interior is tan? Post some pics of that too. Great work and enjoy it!

[particlewave]

Made a big out of town move a few weeks ago and to save myself the hassle of driving back and forth retrieving cars, gave away my beloved daily driver...goodbye Neon




After nearly 5 years of ownership, the 986 is now my daily driver. I'm not too sad about that

Love it. Great colors! The Box looks great in green over tan. Nice work.

I like the green also. Always good to see colors that are out of the ordinary (red, silver, black) a little bit Clean car Glen

Charles, sorry for your loss bud. Promise me you won't replace it with an electric car that sounds like my grandma's wheelchair and I won;t say anything stupid about Dodge Neon.

By the way, is that not the kind of car that you set on fire and throw down a cliff on a Saturday night? (with friends, fire pit, beers and grilled buggers event). Or am I'm still in my teenager wanna-be-years by saying that?!

Fred, you are a funny dude. But seriously, that does sound fun. I would recommend blasting the Neon's radio playing something like Highway to Hell while she flies flaming into the abyss. Unless, of course, she has some meaning to her owner - then I suggest something more respectful like Funeral for a Friend.
