Thumbs up People do the right thing sometimes

I guess this can serve as my intro as well. Got my baby early this summer and have been having so much fun never really got a chance to post an intro.
Long story short, walked into a Lexus dealer while shopping around for a car for my wife and they had a 2006 base boxter with 50,000 miles and upgraded turbo rims ( believe they are aftermarket) on it and I joked that I should Just get this for a summer car. Well after a week of debating and full support from my wife, I pulled trigger. What was the final decision was a statement from a friend
“Sometimes things don’t need to work out on a spreadsheet to make sense”.


Well now for the minor issue: Car was parked in a public garage and I came back to find a note saying my passenger rear fender was dinged by her car door and she was sorry with her phone number. I lesser person would have walked away. Need to take it to the body shop, its a small ding but at least it can be fixed. My faith has been restored.

So different from my story. A fellow Porsche owner at the track backed into my car doing $1800 in damage and drove off without a word to me.

Nyan, that's a great looking specimen you've got there. Enjoy it!
