7000 rpm in 3rd? Are you nuts? 1350 miles on the car and you weren't there to ask permission if it was OK to take it over 4200... so that's where I kept it for the all-too-short ride.

The car is amazing. What impressed me the most was the variocam plus because it puts more grunt under 4,000 than my car, and having a 3.4 in there compared to my weenie 2.5 makes a big difference too.

Next time I am offered the keys to a Pcar with a much larger engine and much newer, I need to pass and say thank you so much, but no thanks... it just makes me want one all the more and that ain't happening anytime soon.

Randall,

Doan fogit...

It's all about attitude.

"it just makes me want one all the more and that ain't happening anytime soon."

Think that and it'll remain so.

Think 997 Turbo instead. And a Cayenne for Etna. Think about how good
she would look in one. You could even get her a black one so you could
spend even more time washing it! Cayennes have lots more paint than
Boxsters.

And there you would be: all studly in a new Turbo.

Expect miracles...
(and then take action (which you are) to make them so)

- Mark

PS: I want a new Cayenne as a company car, keep the Box as
the best all around sports car I can think of and a GT3 for some
WOW factor and a track car. Am I thinking big enough here?

Maybe an F430 for the living room. Yeah! That's it!
