Just got a new Boxster S Limited Edition (I Hope)

[Bobby Carbn]

Hey guys,
I am fairly new to the world of Porsche. I picked up a Jag XJ Super V8 about 3 years ago after having a terrible time with a MB CLK-430. I loved the Jag, just never felt like it had any real get up and go.... About 6 weeks ago I got rear ended in the Jag and decided it was maybe time to move on. My wife suggested I go look at some Porsches since she saw me drooling over 911's every time I saw them drive by this past summer.

I stopped by the local dealer and was leaning towards a yellow cayman s....that was... until I spotted a GT orange Limited Edition Boxster S sitting up the driveway. I ran over and my sales person told me it was a special order and was being picked up later that week. I sighed and moved back to the yellow cayman. I held off purchasing the cayman because it didnt have all the options I was looking for, and figured I would take my time and build one from the ground up. I spent the next several days picking out options and the like... when today as I was getting ready to take the kids out trick-or-treating my cell phones rings, its my sales person Lori... she tells me the person who special ordered the Orange Boxster S changed his mind. I stuck my head out the window and told my wife about the call and she looked at me and said, "Honey that car is HOT, go buy it!". I said to myself, "what an awesome woman", called the dealer back and gave her my CC number for a deposit.

I am going up tomorrow am to test drive the lil devil and hopefully will be bringing her home shortly!!!!

ps. I can only imagine what the wife figures she can parlay out of the "go buy your Porsche" chip she's now holding!

Sweet! You will love it. Does it have any orange accents in the interior? You'll have to post some pics.

As a new Boxster owner I would review some of the old posts in this forum or do some searches because there is very good information available.

Next up, join your local PCA (wonderful organization) and get that car to a driving school.

Regarding your wife holding the 'chip' . You are correct on that. Everytime I question a purchase my wife makes she just says 'Porsche' and I have to cave in.

Very cool. Good story. Congrats on the new car.

Very cool, its hard to imagine an exchange like that after what I had to go through to get my 6-year-old boxster into our garage, I did not know that they made wives like that....

Kick @ss! Post up some pictures. That orange is a great color.

Excellent! The same color car is sitting on a pedestal at our local dealership and I have to wipe the drool off my chin off every time I drive by. Enjoy! Oh, and about your wife holding a Porsche chip? Rest assured, she will draw it like a gun.

Custom fabrication one-off. I bet she's a knockout beauty as well. Just makes sense that if you're gonna fabricate the perfect wife that says, "Please go buy that brand new Porsche" you might as well make her a hottie while you're at it.

My wife told me I could buy any car I wanted, even a Carrera GT, as long as I saved up the cash for it in advance...

and that's why I drive an 11 year old boxster!

What part of NJ are you in? I saw an orange Special edition at my dealer in Cherry Hill. Unbelievable car!

I am a little jealous.

The GT3 RS orange looks a bit different in person than in the official ads, but I like it! Boardwalk Porsche in Plano, TX has a base special edition out front for anyone in the area.

I am in Freehold, NJ right along Rt 9. Once the nice weather returns we should get the NJ guys together for a nice drive. Princeton Porsche is always waiting on delivery of a LE Boxster S without extended Nav.
