My first Porsche (but not my last)!
 

Typical midlife crisis situation. A silver Porsche was my #1 dream car all through my childhood. At 43 I traded in my Nissan truck for a '99 Silver Boxter.
I love looking at it and revel in the joy of driving it so much that I kick myself for waiting so long to join in the Porsche experience!
8 months ownership so far and it has been a rock solid car.

Welcome & Congratulations!! Very nice looking car. Better late than never, I'm glad to see someone finally fulfill the dream of owning a Porsche.
No go out & drive it like you stole it!!!!http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/cheers.gif

Congrats! Welcome to the forum and enjoy driving it this weekend!

Welcome to the club :-) I've had mine since 2001 and I still find myself starring at it! Get used to it :cool:

Thank you very much guys! :)
As sexy as the 2013 Boxster/Cayman is, I still prefer the 986 design. To me it's just simpler and classier. More the essence of a classic Porsche.
The term "Permagrin" you guys use is accurate. I've driven other fun cars like Corvettes, Miatas, Triumphs, etc, but nothing has the precision feel that this car has. Every movement is crisp, smooth and in control. In short, it's a keeper! ;)
Thanks again for your comments and welcomes.
