Yep bmx672 and Super66, my sentiments too. Enjoy the Pcar now while you can still shift gears and enjoy the flat 6 like Dr P designed.

Cheers

I absolutely hate that expression 'midlife crisis'. My decision to get a boxster had nothing to do with age. I thought , life is tooo short. After years of saving and being responsible I came to the conclusion that our time here is so short you have to enjoy it. If not now , then WHEN ? BTW I'm 50 and workout regularly. I bet I could run circles around %90 of today's teenagers and their 'couch potato behavior'. Enjoy your boxster, father time catches up with ALL of us.

i can't understand how you 18-20 year olds can afford the insurance on this type of car?!?! in the UK if an 18 year old who was actually able to get insurance for it would cost him around $10000-$15000....i'm not joking, a 1000cc car would cost you $1000, our boxster cost $1000 for me and the wife and we've turned 40

Well my insurance is even less than alot of people I know, I get an insurance discount for having a good GPA in school, as well as doing countless cost-reducing classes and videos. Plus my record is clean...
