The car that made me sell my Boxster S

So I finally got my replacement for the Boxster S that I let go in January:

Hi,

You're fortunate - it's a very nice car! Good Luck!

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Nicely done, Webster!

I don't get it - why would someone put an F430 kit onto the body of a Boxster? Weird.

Nice job Webster! Looks great and I bet it's even more fun to drive!

Very nice.
How do you like the F1 tranny?

hey! they forgot to put in the shift lever!!!

jk

At some point before death I will add a prancing horse to the stable. Even if just for a year. I was watching Barret Jackson and they acutioned a cut Daytona spyder for nearly $200K. So maybe these cars are good investment if even a hack job Ferrari costs more than the average home after 20+ years.

Thanks, guys.

The F1 is pretty amazing. The shifts are incredibly fast, but still have a very mechanical feel to them. When you're rolling of the line, you can feel how the system is slipping the clutch ever so slightly to get you rolling.

It's a tossup, though. Before I picked the F430, I test drove a 360 with a manual gated shifter. Man, that **************** is very fun too. The click sounds when you shift are very addictive.

And it is kind of sad that with the Boxster gone, I no longer have any stick drives at all. The Audi is a torque-converter automatic and both of the sport cars are egear/f1.

The sidemarkers are a joke. Especially the small bubble ones. Ugh.

They do the same **************** on the Gallardo, but at least it blends in okayish when the car is yellow. Red and orange is a bit more gnarly.

I'm sorry to hear about your financial troubles Mr. Webster. It must be terribly frustrating to have to trade down from a Boxster to an F430.
