Well, since you said "Please" - Welcome!

A few more notes....
There are no "cheap" performance mods (see driving classes).
Yes, your engine may be one of the "sleeved" engines and blow up.
Yes, the white smoke is normal.
The airbag light is caused by the seatbelt mechanism.
It it starts running poorly - it's probably your MAF.
Small oil leaks under the rear could be your RMS.
If the windows don't operate properly it's your regulator.
If the top doesn't work - it's likely the micro-switches or cables.
If it beeps when you hit the alarm - you left something open.
No, you can't rotate your tires.
If you need a part - check out sponsors first.
If your trunk is wet - it might be the coolant tank.
The interior sensor doesn't work with the top down - buy the "red clip"
The "clicking" on the clutch is the switch allowing you to start your car.
Don't even ask about Clear Bras versus regular
Don't even ask about "cheap" tires.
Posts about how fast you went or who you beat will not get you much love here.
Anything "RUF" apparently makes your Boxster "better"
Don't expect 911 owners to even look at you
Perfectlap is the one to ask about car care.
MNBoxster probably has most of your technical answers.
Don't get Brucelee started on Corvettes and Porsche reliability.
Randall is a "good guy" and has probably fixed everything there is to fix on a 99.
You should hook up with TriGem2K and BlinkWatt - they're about your same age.
We don't know what Grizzly does - but you don't want to meet him while he's working.
Rail26 is a super ninja leading a potato revolution.

Is it just me or does anyone else flip out when they hear I'm 19 and I have a Porsche?

I'll tell you a funny story. Many jobs ago I worked with this guy who was moon lighting (that means he had a night job as well) as a stand up comic. The guy was in his late 30's and was about to get engaged. He had allot of goals. One day while we working he told me:
HIM: "if nothing works out for me I have one goal that I WILL ATTAIN!"

ME:"oh yeah, what's that?"

HIM: "one day I will own a Porsche! I don't care what happens I will have a Porsche".

ok the interesting thing about this was that this dude wasn't even a car guy!
I don't know how many times I have been stoped by older guys and said "you know you own my dream car...Porsche".

At 19, 20 and already sitting behind the wheel of a P-Car, what could possibly top this? Mercs and BMWs are nice but Porsches are rare birds.

p.s.
try washing your car with optimum no-rinse from detailcity.com
its a more delicate wash on black paint. My last car was black I know your pain.

i hear ya, 19 wow lucky man. i feel so lucky to be driving a porsche at 28.

atleast he gets to take full advantage of the young women that will be flocking to his porsche. i seem to get a lot of 19 year old women that i have no use for.

welcome to my world!
