My first Porsche
 
Well, newbie here. At age 40 I just got my first convertible and Porsche for that matter. Love it! Nothing like driving an orange traffic cone down the road with the top down. I have owned several sports cars but never a Porsche or a convertible.

Well looking forward to some great weekend drives, auto crossing, lapping days, ect.

Any words of advice, please pass then on.


Thanks, Troy

Get some matching orange tires....

Congratulations! Send a picture. The orange Box is something else. Well, I like the body design so much I think they could paint it any color and I would still smile.

I bought my 2004 a year and a half ago. I love it. Its amazing how it is almost always good weather for driving with the top down. Even now, just turn up the heater and enjoy!

FTD 11-16-2007 12:19 PM

those tires are WILD.

is your's the one with the all new rear bumper and carbon mirrors?

advice: Valentine One. That color will raise every law enforcement eyebrow it comes across.

What other sports cars have you had? How does the Boxster compare in handling / torque to you other toys?

It does come in other colors. That's just the Limited edition color. Not to mention 2 other new colors only available for 2008. Gold and a Light Blue color. Check it out.
