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...

OFB, Old Fat & Bald, been fifty for a couple of years, no mid-life crisis just ongoing immaturity. Owned my first P-car at 21, several since, have a 986 because it was a sunny friday and it was yellow, been dying on the depreciation curve since. For fun I drive my 911, for work I use the 986, they are all just cars.

I just got my bill from my insurance company with my premium readjusted after I added my Boxster. It seems to have gone up at least $50/month. I'm 35 years old, no at-fault accidents ever, been with State Farm since I was 15, and I don't think there are any tickets still on my record at all. This is the most my insurance has gone up for any car I've ever owned. I don't think it was even this high when I had two cars before (Explorer and Lexus SUV). Guess this one's just in a higher risk class or something. I know it's worth more, but come on, not that much more!
