Drop us some pics of your new ride!
I will post up pics tomorrow when i get home with it.

I was thinking about these rims... Will they fit

Did you have a PPI done? If nothing was found that needs fixing, then don't fix anything. If you didn't PPI, then take the car to an indy and have them check it out for you. As said before, learn to drive fast at a DE or driving school - before you monsterize it.

What is PPI? How come no one suggested learning how to drive when i bought my corvette? Third suggestion on learning how to drive.... Why???? Lol what is so complicated about driving a boxster? Ive owned 800hp street cars... More then one. Is the porsche handling worse than A corvette or camaro? Just asking

As far as monsterizing it.... At 38, a new grandpa and a five yr old son. I have no desire to go 150mph. 0-60 ... Oh ya definitly lol but im not a speed guy. Just the get up and go thrill me. With all the fast cars iv had ive never crashed.
