The first time I rode in a Boxster was my cousin's, he completely looped it going around a 90 degree corner (cold tires, cold weather) and we spun a 360 in the grass and ended up coming back out onto the street pointed perfectly where we were going. These cars seem to rotate on a center axis much more so than front engine / rear drive layout cars, being mid-engined I guess they ought to. Glad to hear everything turned out fine for you guys and the car. Only one thing stinks more than getting chastised by the wifey, and that's when you know she's right.

Steve, i'm glad it ended well. I can only imagine how you felt afterwards having your son in the car.

My first thought was the recent thread about giving a 16 year old a Boxster for a first car... I guess it goes to show that it can happen to anyone, young or old.

More importantly, glad all turned out well.
