I bought the Boxster because I wanted a second car and then discovered that for the $15K I budgeted to spend I could get a new KIA or any number of other crappy looking square box shaped boring cars, or I could buy a sexy, seasoned Porsche.

Ya baby.....that was the easiest car buying decision I ever made.

Unfortunately the Porsche addiction has grown on me and now I also lust after this.

The price is probably out of reach, and replacement parts too pricey for a fixer-DIY.

So I have been considering this instead, out of a salvaged Boxster.

So Yaa, I bought the Boxster because I could not justify spending big bucks on this new Porsche.
