Got my "new" '09 Boxster - Finally!

Thanks to @BruceH and scores of you who kept me motivated through my quest!

Can't wait enough for the Title/Regn/Insurance to be completed so I can begin the journey.

Here are some pics.

Yes, you, do. Get the wildlife conservation plates, though, and at least you'll have a horny toad on the front of your car. I would almost move to Texas to get a set of those. Almost.

Any thoughts on mounting the licence plate - Tow Hook based (Rho-plate; Mower Deck; US Mill Works) or Drill into the pre-identified spots in the bumper.

showroom new. How many miles?

License plate? Take the ticket. The smokies will just use it to zap you with the lazer gun.

Nice. Mine had 9K miles when I bought it. Almost Zero repairs until I hit 65K miles.

You can take the chance and wait, keep the front plate in the car and explain you have been meaning to get it mounted. There are lots of folks around here with out front plates, I tend to notice that. Or do what I did, I had a European style plate made and I actually kind of like it.
