That's the video that talked me out of a base 996 and into the Boxster S. A week after watching the video my 3.2 shows up at a dealer 15 minutes away. After the test drive I was wondering why I didn't drive the S sooner. In my mind it made downgrading to a rear engine grand touring for another $10k pointless when the Boxster S sets the bar in its class, and that's the class I knew I would enjoy most. The first day autox'ing the S and my head nearly exploded...this car is just as much as Tiff made it look in that video. Although I probably should have added an SC or 964 project car because they were way cheaper back then despite their limited numbers. One Porsche is for driving hard the other is for parades.
