911 Buyers remorse

Thinking about it more, I like the size, relative simplicity and convertible top of the Boxster. After driving the 996 around again today, I do wish for slightly more power from the 986. Not that I need it to drag race a minivan, but for those times of lane changes, on ramp merging, etc...the extra horsepower would be nice.

Again, with my 986 @ 86k miles the question becomes, do I spend the money to refurbish the seats, replace top with glass window, upgrade the 16" wheels and tires, add aero side skirts and install the 996 GT3 bumper I have sitting in my basement? If so, I'm at least another $6,000 into the car. Of course add back the $16k I would sell the 996 for and I'm still on top. Or, do I spend an additional $10k and go the 987 route?

Bottom line is I feel the 2 seat roadster is my personal choice even though I wanted to like the 996.
