Last year bought and furnished a new house and am just now beginning to recover, but this summer had to replace my computer, camera body, brakes and AC on the other Boxster, plus putting a new engine in the Jeep, is really stretching it again), I'm going to at least put it into semi-retirement. Breaking up the miles with the Jeep, so neither wears out too quickly.
Yes, love your photos, you capture the nuances that abound if one takes a moment to appreciate all that's around you, I'd describe your photo style as Zen!
What camera are you using?

Yes I do the alternating Boxster/Wrangler daily too, every other day its to the gym and all those gym bags in the parking lot scare the Boxster away with those big brutes barging between the cars like bulls in china shop.

01 Boxster 79k miles, 99 Wrangler 178k miles, not much maintenance on the Wrangler except it seems that tires only last 3-5 years before they develop the stupid death wobble, even from plain daily driving.

One hazard of driving the two contrasting cars, one with 3.2l and the other with 4l engines is that I end up trying to drive the Jeep like a Boxster. It translates into smoother driving, more body roll, and higher revs than a Wrangler is used to. Jeep Acceleration is funny, just floor it and play with tunes on the radio while waiting for it to get up to speed.
