Went from Miata to Boxster

[CDNIcecube]

Hi all... Just sold my 1990 Miata yesterday for a 1999 Boxster base.... I loved my Miata but it was getting too unreliable. My transmission was rebuilt 10 years ago, and I got, in the last six years, the "stucked in reverse symptom" at least three times. Each time I was able to fix it by the roadside but I lost confidence in it. My wife would not drive it anymore. So I needed something more modern. I do notice that the Miata is much more tossable than the Boxster. Yet I like the luxury,and sturdiness of the Boxster. I am getting it in 10 days. The garage is changing the brakes & suspension all around, is fixing the bearing (Preventative) and the water pump and an oil leak somewhere. I will let you know how it compares to the Miata, but I think I grew up and needed something a little bit more aligned with my age. My wife is pleased, so am I!
