Am I nuts to consider a Boxster?

[bullwinkle]

Thanks to all of you.

As to why an s2000 or a Boxster, one of you nailed it with the two-seat convertible remark. I would only add that I take driving seriously, and I do not fit in a Miata.

What intrigues me is that the S2000 and the Boxster offer such different experiences. At this point I am leaning Boxster if I can find the right one, because it would be so different from the RSX.

Bullwinkle, also consider the 987 (MY 2005 and newer) then, since this has more leg and head room vs. the 986.

Having 2 trunks should be an advantage over the Honda too.

Look at the classified section of the Chicago PCA (www.pca-chicago.org/scene/SceneJune09.pdf). There was a 2007 987S (tip tranny) listed for $35 IIRC.

If you don't fit in a Miata, are you sure you would be comfortable in an S2000? Make sure you test drive one with the top up AND down. Make sure you get in and out of the car with the top up.

I just joined the group of guys who dry their wheels with a leaf blower. I'm not sure this is the right group to check your sanity.

+1 on this great idea! A perfect reason to go buy the little craftsman blower/vac that sears has on sale right now.


And I said it before, but I'll say it again....Get a Boxster S!!!
