OK, my wife has been gone all week, so tha means I have been driving the new car! I have to say, after driving this thing for a couple of days, I made the right choice. I don't know what it is, but this car feels quicker than the 01. The 01 defeinately felt more torq-ee, but this thing actually feels like it gets down the road faster. I am sure it doesn't, but it feels like it does. If you are remotely interested in the 987 body style but can't put the scratch together for an S model, a base with the 6spd runs nice. I am sure there is no comparison to the new S, but I would say this is a better car all around than the 01 S we used to have. Try it, you'll like it!

Hmm. So you say you don't have the 986 anymore, so I can only assume your signature line is referring to wives.

What ARE you thinking, man!? It can't be done! It just can't. be. DONE. RUN AWAY.

It can be done, but most don't live to tell the tale. Nope I was actually refereing to Porsches. I first obtained a 914-6, and then a Boxster S. i got rid of the 986 S for a 987 that matches my 914-6!

If you put the amber turn-markers under your pillow before you go to sleep, when you wake up, the Euro-spec Fairy will have replaced them with the clear markers.

Assuming you've been a good boy.
