I could care less about prestige, status or bling, I don't need PORSCHE on the hood badge to feel good about myself. A Miata can give me the performance of the Boxster with very little modification. But, it's reliable, cheap to maintain, and just as much fun.

Going to a Dealer this weekend and if they have one, I'll see what I get in trade, if it's good enough, I'm gone, no regrets about owning the Boxster or losing it... it's just another in a long line of cars for me...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
Jim,

So, are you still a Boxster owner or are you now a Miata owner ?

Hi,

Actually, my plans were waylaid and I didn't get to a Dealer. Mrs. MNBoxster's company had bid on the 2007 President's Cup Tourney to be held in Montreal next September (she did the '05 President's Cup in Mannassas/ Wash. DC).

The contract was initially given to a Canadian company (who does the F1 catering) and after meeting with the PGA, the PGA decided they weren't up to the task, so in a surprise move, the contract was recinded and given to my wife's company instead.

So, she had to fly to Montreal to meet with the Tournament Committeee there and get things started. We were married and honeymooned in Montreal, so we decided to go together and left Sat. am.

She's in meetings 'til Wed. and we'll spend the rest of the week playing in one of our favorite cities. I'll be back home late Sunday, so maybe that week I can get to a Dealership and make my comparisons and decide...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
