Watch Out Johnny Danger
 
I no longer have to do this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3VxuWT6Dk0


I have finally gotten my new car. A 2000 Speed yellow S 6 speed! 88k miles and all the right options!;)http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1404100638.jpg

Options include: Hard top, sports package, supple leather, the storage tray with speakers, yellow stitching, full leather, litronics, and 18 inch turbo twists. I am very blessed and privileged to be this cars current caretaker, I really loved the old car and hope to own another 2.5 for fun down the road some time. However, the new car is a huge improvement over the last! Still getting the manual down pat, I mentally have things right, but things are physically difficult with size 14 shoes haha. Should be to a viable point within a week or so. Anyways, now I just need my own danger girls :cheers: with the attention that the speed yellow brings it seems as if that would be an easy task haha. To be fair though, this car has a different style than the danger-mobile, I prefer to think of it as a modern, not as fast, Yellowbird ;)

cool! try not to tear this one up this time, eh?

Speed yellow is even more likely to attract the local authorities than guards red. Hehe.

BruceH 06-29-2014 08:50 PM

Congratulations Jake! Very nice step up and obviously a well cared for Boxster. Nice options, you have done well. Pretty soon shifting will be second nature and is a skill every young person should master IMO. Your buddy at school is not going to be happy with the outcome;)

Nice. Welcome from a fellow Speed Yellow nerd. It's a fantastic color. Had the girl out this weekend on a small vacation with my wife and she attracted all sorts of fun attention. Enjoy.

linderpat 06-30-2014 02:41 AM

one of my favorite colors!

Congrats Jake!

Looks like you got one that has a few of the mods already done....bonus!

The shifting is a matter of practice.
I've driven stick cars for 35+ years and it still took ~5 months of daily driving to feel like I was nailing the shifts perfectly up and down the gears. Now its smooth and fast like a Porsche is supposed to be driven.

Very nice car; you did good! Keep it above 3,000 RPMs and don't drive it to school!

RandallNeighbour 06-30-2014 06:21 AM

Full leather. That's very nice. I hope to get that in my next Pcar.

Yo Tucker, was it the car or your wife that attracted the attention....LOL! Pics please....

AKL:cheers:

Beautiful car. Full leather is very in our cars, I believe.

eicheldp 06-30-2014 08:18 AM

Very Nice Car Jake.

Like Joe B said "Don't drive it to school"

Maybe I'll meet you at next year's BRBS.

Kenny Boxster 06-30-2014 10:17 AM

Congrats! Yellow is a nice color. You may find a radar detector very handy. :)

RawleyD 06-30-2014 06:23 PM

Drive it to school, and park as close to full view as you can. It will be fine :)

Likely a bit of both I'd think!!! I'm very lucky in two worlds. :-)

Danger is dead, man.......

Yah right, fine just like his first Boxster was :rolleyes:. Kids can do nasty things with keys or a knife if so inclined, and being in "full view" won't stop them.

BIGJake111 07-01-2014 04:46 PM

Tackled a few hill starts today! Getting better with my manual!

JayG 07-01-2014 05:31 PM

Good one Jake. Looks like you got yourself a very sweet ride

And being bright yellow, it should make it easier to see by the morons in big trucks
