If you only drive it 200 miles per year, what difference does it make? Go for it! :rolleyes:

It is your color ! Order the 2014 Box. Get an S.

Yes, BruceH I was deliberately calling him the Thurston Howell IV as the III is long dead. Anyway, not surprised that my little joke would be missed (or misunderstood) by some on this forum - afterall, how many were hoodwinked by JD? Again. good one JD!!!

If you are going for the Pontiac then hold out for the Mera:

I would love to find a good deal on a Mera in nice condition. I'd also settle for a well-done 308 kit on a Feiro. Don't think I'd want a real 308 though - seems to be a maintenance nightmare.

I'd resort to public transportation before I would drive that abomination. Worse, I'd even drive a bone-stock 986 over it. :p

Johnny, say it aint so. You'd rather drive an unmodified Boxster than a Fiero in fake Ferrari guise? Now I know you can't be serious!

Just fooling. I love all boxsters !

JD, if some were taking you seriously, I wasn't one of them!

If this happens Porsche will have to have a change in nomenclature to "Danger Blue".

Truthfully, this began as a serious thread. But, 90k for a new boxster just doesn't make sense. :(

DAMN!!!! I just put down a deposit on a Veyron to keep it with JD.................:o

Mark_T 12-03-2013 02:47 PM

Yeah, I sure hope I can return this Wraith...

Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but you could always wait 2-3 years and buy a low mileage CPO 981 from a dealer with the Dangermobile as a trade in. Or sell it privately. You'd have that much time to get the price you want and I don't think the value of your 986 will depreciate at all.

To scratch your spending itch, you could always pave the road leading to your house, and get out and drive your Boxster.

Just sayin'..............

Good advice - except for the road. Unless someone on the forum wants to take up a collection, a two mile stretch into the forest with 750 feet of elevation gain just isn't possible. :(

OK, how about a collection of Pirelli calendars then?

Any girls on them ?

JD, if you're really shopping for a new ride, maybe you should take a look at this one:

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1386134314.jpg
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1386134322.jpg

For a modest $25k

You speed around town and tell everyone that you're Steve McQueen reincarnate. :cool:

Steve Tinker 12-03-2013 09:11 PM

WooHoo - its just up JD's street, with its flat 4/5 motor & internal rollbar...
And it will handle the dirt road up to Schloss Danger without a hitch too.
Who wants an Enzo when you can have this dreamboat on your drive !!
