New Guy here.

Well it looks like you guys got a real nice corner of the web here.

I just got a Boxster, so I figured I would try and find some like-minded folks.

It's a terrific car and the first Porsche I've had that I can drive daily and the costs won't kill me.

I admit I'm a bit of a Luddite, with my other Porsche being a 356B and having previously owned a 930, and it took me a long time to warm up to the Boxster, but it is a fantastic car. I can say I'm gonna have it for a long time to come.

I got a '01 S with 20K miles on it. It's Guards Red with a black top and interior. It has all the options I would have gotten and none of the weight-adding, non-speed-enhancing foo-foo stuff.

I do have one question about the red. I thought it was Guards Red, but someone said it's too vibrant and bright for Guards Red, and they think it's Arena Red. All I know is it's a real loud color and can be spotted from miles away. Truly, "Arrest-Me Red".

Anyway, some pics. (I apologize ahead of time. The car hasn't been washed or vacuumed in a couple of days):

It looks like guards red to me. Arena red is more like burgundy. Nice ride!

Nice 986. I like the wheels a lot. When you get a chance, post some pics of your tub also. I'm a huge 356 fan.
