track addiction downside

[RandallNeighbour]

I've taken my Boxster back to stock other than the loud Chinese muffler (used to have a lowered race suspension on it) and the wife still doesn't like riding in it. And never with the top down because it messes up her hair.

Some days I wonder why I own the car. Next one will be a cushy 991 S PDK Coupe with ventilated seats and no sport muffler... maybe she will agree to another trip somewhere in the Porsche.

I bought my wife her own 993 cab -- she doesn't have to ride with me in the boxster.

I will say tho -- that when I did replace the stock S suspension with a SPB suspension,
after a couple laps on track she commented how much better it drove!

Track car or not -- since I do drive it on the street or sitting on grid in Texas -- I'm all for keeping the AC and dealing with the extra weight on track!

My wife will never admit it but I know she has never really like any of the Porsches I have owned. Even the 996, which I consider pretty GT like compared to all the other Porsches I've owned. I don't care though, they make me happy and she know it so she won't say anything.
