Long Time Lurker / First Time Poster

I've been reading these posts since two summers ago when we bought our 03 Base / 5 speed. There is a ton of knowledge on the forum. Now that the weather has turned for the better and it's out of storage I'm looking forward to putting some more miles on it!

The 03 should be a nice ride. Just be sure your miles include lots of curves. Makes for a lot more fun.

December thru April. Found heated space for a reasonable rate just down the street from where I work. I can't bring myself to run it in the and salt they put on the roads up here when it snows.

Muzzle -- I really enjoy it. I find myself looking for the longest, curviest distance between two points

We need pictures of said 03 Boxster. We like to look at all Boxsters not just our own.

I know the feeling. Mines been "under construction" for the past two summers and now it is finally in good enough shape to hit the roads.

See ya around neighbor.

I'm still baffled by the 12 year olds on this forum.

if you don't believe they own a box, then why don't you ignore them? and the people who trust the poster can proceed with business as usual.

so cringeworthy

"Pics or it didn't happen" is a standard (almost universal) greeting for new folks on internet forums that specialize on a certain something, be it a car, guns, watches, airplanes, or just about anything else. It is meant as a friendly encouragement

Welcome!

Really AE?
12 year olds???

Asking for a pic is kind of a long time ongoing theme on this forum as well as others
similar to Timco asking a new member about both rear fog lights working.

BTW, have you checked to see if both rear fog lights work?
