I went for a drive.
I have owned a Miata for years. For those of you who don’t know when Miata was first introduced there was the “Miata Wave”. When people spotted another Miata on the road you would pop-up (open) your headlights. Then when the newer NB and NC came along guys would simply wave, but it is still called the Miata Wave.
Well I live in a small town and have never seen another Boxster.
So today was a beautiful top down day and as I was driving down a twisty Arkansas road I passed a Boxster driven by a beautiful young girl going the opposite direction and she waved. Made me feel good to see another Boxster and it made me feel good to have her wave and it made me feel young. I may be old enough to be her grandmother, but today we were both enjoying the beautiful weather and amazing Boxster.

Perfect weather in Melbourne today (24) was king of the road until I stopped for lunch when I was joined by a new 911 turbo Cabrio.

Consolation was he paid 10 times more for his car than I paid for my 2003 2.7 for pretty much the same driving experience.(well almost)

The car is going better and better after 7 months and 5000 kms usage, did 190 kms today,

Those are 17" Boxster S II wheels (2003/2004)

F - 7x17/55 R - 8.5x17/48
98636212402 98636212607

Not positive, but if I recall correctly from some AutoX conversations I think they are some of the lightest stock 17 wheels.

I recall reading the optional Box II wheels are 4.5 lbs each lighter than the standard 17" wheels.

I like mine, but they are a bit harder to keep clean.
