I drove a very nicely restored 82 930 yesterday...

Man, what a great car! Seriously fast and looks to kill.

The weird thing is, I drove the Boxster back home and even as awesome that Turbo coupe was, the Boxster S is a fantastic car with a charm all it's own. I really developed an instant appreciation for it because I was thinking it would pale compared to the Turbo, but it doesn't. It actually fits better and is decidedly more refined while still cranking out more than enough power. I wish I could have one of each as they are so different, but can't do it right now. Bang for the buck though, it's really hard to beat the Boxster S.

Exactly. Good as the '80s 911s were/are, they cannot hold a candle to the newer cars in terms of refined performance. Altogether a more modern driving experience.
