Back in a Boxster

New to the 986 forum but not to the Boxster. First Boxster was new in 2001, guards red with black base car with 17" wheels and PSM. Second was used with 6k miles and now this 2003 S. I looked at moving up to a 991.1 from my 997 but I didn't like the size and the complexity of the car. For pure driving my 87 air cooled was far more fun and that made me think about the fun I had with the Boxster and its far more simple and engaging personality. I ended up putting a new Mercedes C Class cab in the garage and the Boxster S. Searched for a guards red and black to match the one I had new and found a nice 56k mile car. So far I've had about $3k of needed / neglected basic service work done at the Porsche dealer and my Indy. Pulled the Sumitomo's for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Need to schedule RMS retro. Looking forward to some engaging back road drives this summer. And I'm happy to be in the Boxster over the 911. The car 9/10th of the 911 for a lot less money and it handles better.
