I'm guessing you paid a wad of money for that "antique" car in Singapore. I lived there for a while when I was a kid and I am still jaw-dropped by how much the government drives up the price of an automobile there.

I'll be coming to Singapore for my 60th birthday in a few years and if you still have your car I'd love to meet you and see it!
yes haha, in Singapore my car COE (certificate of entitlement) for 10 years costed SGD52K

Great, I would love to meet a fellow 986 Boxster owner too

Sadly this USD38K cert only extends my ownership for another 10 years. Come to the end of this current 10years, I will need to renew again at the prevailing rate if I decided to keep the car.

Ladies and gentlemen... this is Singapore!
Welcome! Haha!
