I can either sell the boxster, or, try to exchange the company car for some kind of compensation (mileage, fuel, etc.) while sucking up my pride and driving my P-car in the rain.

Has anyone been in a similar position? I want to hear other opinions, especially from someone who travels for work. PS i had some parts for sale, please accept my apologies for not being ready to part with anything yet

I have the same situation as you. I have a company car that I drive to work or on trips during the week, which gives me the opportunity to work on my 986S at my leisure without the pressure of having to get the coilovers, or clutch, etc. done before Monday. Generally I celebrate Friday by keeping the company car at home and driving the 986 or one of my BMW's to work. Then the 986 just has duty for weekend getaway, auto-x, and track days. For me, this is ideal.

Here's a Poll just over a week ago. Interesting result. I was assuming most of the members here use their Box as daily driver. Poll results show differently.

Weekend driver almost equaled the daily drivers.

I wish i could do this! except for the most part i leave on monday, and dont come home until friday. I think i will figure something out.. Not driving the 986 = thoughts like selling to get a Z3 M coupe or 996 or anything else but a few days last week in VA made me wish for the 986 more than ever

Boxster S is my wifes DD. We did buy a 21 year old Honda Accord for $1200 for the crappy weather days and a parking lot car for her part time job at the mall. Box S and Explorer in the garage with 4 street motorcycles. Accord, Escort and Avenger park outside, 2 Dual Sport Dirt bikes in the shed.
