I have spent hundreds of hours wrenching on the car and thousands of dollars in modding it.
I plan on keeping this car forever.
I treat her right and she treats me right!

No emotions to it at all. Have a love / hate relationship to the Box, have spent too much money on it.. would sell it in a heartbeat if the right price arrives and will put it up for sale the the moment the snow melts..

Well, "any" car I will get now will be (performance wize) be a downer. But I'm not worried, I would do the Boxster dream/nightmare thing again all day long

Replacement car will be either a BMW 3-Series (E90) facelift (2008-up) with auto, petrol, straight six, 2/4-door or an Audi A5 2-door, 1.8 TFSI, auto.

I never get emotionally attached to my cars and I replace it every summer/ every other summer. Cars are my passion and has been since I was a child.

(Well, the only car I was a little bit emo about was my VW 1200 Jeans edt. I sold last summer):

I understand Haz . Over my life time I have had a '58 VWbug(no gas heater cold as hell), a '61 Vw bug(no gas heater) and a 1972 VW bug bought brand new. I loved those old bugs. The last one had a gas heater and was most effective as long as the gas worked
.! As regards the 3 series BMW if they are off warranty I would be apprehensive.

Daughter's fiancee had an 200? something Audi and believe it was reliable for him.
Cheers, Guy

Nice. Bugs/Porsches, same deal, only difference is "Porsche has 2 more in the rear", as we say here.
