I really think so.
The harsh news first - I sold the Box. A sad day indeed, but I think I'll try therapy first, and if that doesn't work I'll drown my sorrows in liquid refreshment.
Why sold? Couple of reasons - mostly the SCCA broomstick rule and the fact that I'm too tall. Even with a BK extension I can't legally pass. Darn. But also repair and maintenance costs, a vague fear of rms (but not really a critical factor).
Replacement - new RX8 6 speed. Major advantages - it's a coupe (no broomsticks), it handles well, has good brakes, has 5/48 warranty. Minor advantages: I can hear the radio. It can seat 4 in a pinch, although the rear seats are like sitting in a pit.
Major disadvantage - it's not a Porsche.
Summary of the Boxster: Boy was that fun! Wow. Was that fun or what?
Dream car: Cayman, S or non. I'll be back!
This forum: Best there is, period. Most mature, fewest flames, best technical info, so I'll keep watching. I suggest avoiding lot of the Japanese car forums - the tech info is there but mixed in with a lot of testosterone and false bravado, plus some downright childish posts.
Drive safe, have fun!
