Thanks guys. The one thing the shop owner said that made me feel good about my Boxster is that he thinks its one of the best Boxsters he's seen both cosmetically and mechanicly in a long time. That was good to hear from someone that see's alot of Pcars (he had about 40 in the shop when mine was in, everything from 356s to the latest Pcars).

Its mostly a typical comment from regular folks when they ask what is the NEW car I bought.

They are flabbergasted when I tell them its 14 years old, and then speechless when I mention its a Porsche.

Makes you proud to have washed/waxed your car to a mirror finish, and not have any place for food/drink helps keep the interior spotless.

The only nasty going on is the vinyl rear window thats browned a tad and is now getting tears at the edges/seams.

Thats the next project.

When my colleague the other day asked how old mine was he nearly fell over when i said 11 years this year, he commented that it looked as good as a new car.

I have one under my door mirror which my eye draws too every time i look at the car. The dent ppl tell me its in a position they can't access, but i don't know if i believe it.
