Been through Poway...talk about beautiful mtn views! Congrats on the job. Yeah, the drive to San Berdoo isn't too bad but there's construction in Redlands that slows things down a bit. Actually, there's construction everywhere! I used to ride my bike around Mission Bay everyday during lunch...boy do I miss that. The bike ride through the Inland Empire just can't compare.

Are you married?...is your wife a teacher? Mine is...seems like alot of engineers marry teachers. I guess it's a good combo...just like cops and nurses. : )

oh yea married for 19 years! I have 14yr old and 10 yr old sons! I am geting old, but the boxster helps keep me feeling young. My wife is not a teacher, but she is a nurse! She has been an RN for 20 years. She does psych......probably that's why she was drawn to me....I'm friggin nuts. We call her nurse ratchet....

married with kids yourself I suppose?

Yep, married for 16 years. We've got the set...my son is 8.5 and we just had a b-day party for my daughter. She's six. We heated the pool and had a huge party. The kids had a blast. Now on to xmas.

The grey hair is starting to poke through. Not too bad yet. The Boxster makes me feel like I'm in my twenty's! When we bought it back in September, all my buds at work kept asking if it was a mid-life C'mon!, I just turned thirty-nine!...that's not mid-life, right?

coincidences! My sons birthday party is tomorrow!! We are having the usual big shindig. I am 42, but no gray yet. I got the same mid life crisis stuff from everybody when I got it in October 04. They can think what they want, but I had wanted a Porsche since my dad got his 914 in 1972 when I was 8.

I just finished swaping in a 3.4 carrera engine into the thing. It really kicks some butt now. Have you done any "mods" to yours?

[silverboxter]

lol! b-day partys are fun. the weather really didn't cooperate today. hope tomorrow is better for you. tell your boy happy birthday for me. : )

haven't done any mods. really happy with everything on it. it's my first p-car but i
i've always wanted one since i was a kid.

did you do the engine swap yourself? funny thing is that i turned wrenches to get myself through sdsu...but i don't trust myself with the boxster. go figure.

[pecivil]

nope wouldn't do an engine swap myself. I can do easy stuff like changing fluids, brakes, etc, but not an engine swap.
