Spokane? The warm part of the state.
Yeah.. the Boxsters value may never rise to the level of its counterparts... but they look nice and drive well. Wrinkles and dents? Maybe in Washington, but here in Cali... I wouldn't be caught dead driving a dented and wrinkled piece of **************** anything. However, I can understand your position... cause I've seen how Washingtonians dress. It's like they don't care. If it wasn't for Washington state Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls would be out of business. OK. I jest in part. I grew up in Washington. Tacoma. And, no, I'm not bragging about that.

Maybe you can start a thread about your build. A V-8? That would be awesome! I'd certainly follow it.
Cheers!
