Some good answers.

Why did i get my 986 ? well i was looking for a Porsche convertible. the 911's are nice and i've toyed with one, but the boxster.. engine is where it should be. it handles.. no it really does handle.. when i push it down twisty roads, it just amazes me at how balanced and how grip it has..

It's not drag car, it's not the quickest off the lights but the balance makes up for 0-60 time ( i know some who tracks a 3.2 and he regularly pas bigger engine 911's with more power due to the balance of the Boxster.

It's drivable. it can be used every day. even with the 928 GTS's and 944 TC i've had while owning the boxster, it still stays in the drive.

It simply is a driving machine

Why began in child hood with a framed 930 evex turbo picture that still hangs on my wall. I always wanted a Porsche never thought I would ever own one until the financial crisis hit. Ironic in a way but I bought mine at a rock bottom price nearly 6 years later and 25,000 miles its still worth almost as much as I paid for it. From the day I brought it home I knew no matter what there would always be Porsche in my garage.

why?

It was one of my two dream cars...a Porsche and a vintage Ford Model T. Now I have two Porsche's and three model T's.
