Get the new Boxster if you want, for sure!
But sell the Dangermobile?
I think you need a 12 step program :P

Why would you want a new one? People are a creature of habit and I believe that you would drive it as much as your old one - that is not very much. And assuming that you sold the old one, you would be out mucho $$$$. Does not make much sense.

I'm with others. The Dangermobile is a unique car that you've invested a lot of time, money, and creativity into. If I were in your shoes, I'd be too nervous about the double whammy of losing a lot of money on the sale of a heavily modified car AND the rapid depreciation of a new car.

I'd aim for one or the other, if you really want to mix things up. Since you're already invested in the Dangermobile, I'd aim for a slightly used new-to-you car (assuming you really want a rotation in the stable). The other day I saw a 996 GT3 Mk1 sell for under $40! That's a whole lot of car for the money.

I'm in a similar dilemma (per my earlier post). I'm itching for something new, and I cannot decide on whether it should be through customizing my '99 Boxster or investing in a new car. (What doesn't help me is I have my eye on a certain beautiful 993 cab that would require a wonderful, long roadtrip home as delivery down Hwy 1.)

If money is no issue, then take a look at what else you could get in the similar price range. If you're set on mid-engine configurations, your options will certainly be more limited.

P.S. You cannot tell me the Dangermobile isn't still working its magic on the Danger Girls.
