So far, I have received nothing but compliments about my 986 from both men and women. Everyone seems love it and want one. Every time I gas up, someone is asking me about the car. One guy even asked if it was a new model.

I knew about Boxsters for a long time, but I had always wanted a 911. My budget put me in the lower end 996 category. After doing a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that the maintenance on such a car would be a big problem.

So I started researching and test driving Boxsters. I ended up finding a deal and fixing the engine. Now I have put about 5500 miles on it since February! I love it! I think it is pretty much the epitome of a classic sports car, only better!

I have been impressed by most of the engineering and quality, save the IMS bearing stupidity. That fixed, I drive it like I stole it. I love the sound as the engine revs and I work through the gears. So much fun! Sometimes I have to wipe the grin off my face when I get out of the car.

Sure, I could spend A LOT more money on something newer and faster. But I doubt I could have any more fun!
