Wife on board issues...haaaa.
Tell her that the deal is: sex every night till death do you part or you get a Boxster and the sex is on her schedule.
Either way you grin and win, you'll get in great shape, and get your Boxster eventually. 
If she tries for option 1 then go with it hard till she is too worn out to carry on that way and then go get a Boxster. (Be sure to use strong condoms so this plan doesn't backfire on you  )

Nice looking car. I started off with a 2001 base and now have a 2003 S. Both were/are great cars!

Did you sell your base outright or trade it in?
(if you don't mind me asking.....)

Congrats. Looks great. Get to know your car and enjoy! Try not to obsess with all the doom and gloom you may read on the various forums. These cars are a blast and routine maintenance is not expensive and easily performed DYI if you're so inclined.
