I am happy to report to my new brethren that after a process of looking at M roadsters, corvettes and other Porsche’s that I am the proud owner of a "new" (to me) '05 Boxster S.
I apologize in advance for not knowing all the proper option titles but in general:
5k miles
6spd
red with charcoal interior
Carbon trim on interior and door sills.
nav
heated seats
19" Rims from the 997
Xenon
Bose with windstop
Only wish it had the sport button and full power seats but still a great car.
A whole lot of fun even in one day as I slowly figure everything out.
Hope to see the SoCal guys in the near future.
