Saying bye to Boxster :(

[Bavarian Motorist]

Well, here are my options...



Wait until Feb. to custom order an '08. Then I will still have my Boxster, but my dad will keep it for the time being.



I don't really wanna wait, so I am settling for a yellow one and for an '06. I think the car looks good in any color so I am not picky. First choices would be Chrome Orange, Laser blue, Krypton Green or Chilli red (all $1200 options)



First things I am doing is getting forged wheels (-20 lbs from unsprung weight) and powder-coating them black. Then I will just enjoy it for a while.



There is a decent aftermarket for this car, to my surprise. Actually a bigger one than the 987 has...who would've thought?



I'm leasing this car as well because, buying an '06 will cause me to lose more $$ than I want to by owning it. It will soon be 2 years old.

That's what it would look like...minus the stripes. I don't think I want stripes.
