It's funny; I read these posts and thought "wow, I can't believe these people have never taken their Boxsters past 3k rpm!!!", and then I thought back to the last few months of my life, driving back and forth to work at 65 mph, running errands on weekends and being careful not to jar the wife or the dog too much, and it occured to me that I also haven't really enjoyed the higher RPM's in a while.
I think I'll go for a drive at lunch today.
