We got our 04 Boxster S about a month ago, our first Porsche. It was bought as a birthday present for my wife, only problem is that she is afraid to drive it so I'm stuck driving it. Poor me
On top it all, we traded in her Passat and kept mine and hers was nicer.

2 things come to mind on the thrill of driving the Boxster

First we took a trip a weekend trip from San Diego to Phoenix. About 800 miles round trip of pure top down pleasure. My wife even didn't complain once about my driving, even when passing at over 100 mph! It was simply a blast driving and so comfortable and fun. I did notice that when I was approaching another car from behind, they pulled over to the right to let me pass. On other trips without the Boxster, I don't remember that happening.

Second, my son is so proud when I drop him off at High School. The look on his friends faces is priceless when he gets out of the car.
