Introduction - new owner 01S

I also went shopping for a 911 and came home with a Boxster as my first Porsche! They are quite addictive.

Great looking car and kudos on posting the pic's!

Keep us up to date as you work your way though mods and repairs.

Welcome to the addiction.
I can highly recommend that you take a Porsche Performance driving school.
It will teach you how to control the car safely and with confidence, get the most out of its performance, have tremendous fun in the process and meet a bunch of nice Porsche folks.

Also, should the time come for a repair, always think of it as an opportunity to upgrade parts
There are lots of upgrades that can be done and I am always surprised at how easy it is to work on the Boxster and DIY if you are so inclined.

I think the #1 upgrade is the Top Speed or other aftermarket exhaust and the 2nd CAT deletes if your car has 4 Catalytic converters like many CA cars have.

The resulting sound is not too loud or raucous till you rev it and will make the most sports car like sound you ever heard. Seriously, you will turn down your music just to hear that awesome tone and under bridges...orgasmic!

There is a huge knowledge base of users and threads here so support from the forum folks is awesome and invaluable.

Enjoy.
