drive immediately to Qualcomm Stadium for some Autocross and report back on your results!

That's what my fellow p-club driver did. Temporary tags were still on that GT3 when he brought directly to the autocross. Here's a pic with Toyo RA-1's glad I followed suit. The tires are fantastic. Insane bite and great for daily use.
This particular photo is from one of 6 clubs in our area, they love open courses!

check this out for your area.

Porsche's official position is that tracking your Porsche voids the warranty. Well, you didn't listen to your Mother either, did you?????????????????

Congratulations looks mighty beautiful. Drive in good health and enjoy the new dynamics of the best roadster in the world.

Nice looking car - the grin goes well with it. Go someplace - any ride in the boxster is a good trip, even out for a loaf of bread. I'm currentlly on a bus. trip with a rental Toyota Solara. Help! Counting the hours till I get home to the box -

Congrats.

Now go drive the thing and stop posting until the car is broken in. Redline is glorious in a Boxster S.

Well, I can't drive it much right at this moment--I haven't got it on my insurance policy yet and I'm getting a clear bra put on it on Monday so I don't want to get any rock chips between now and then. It's all polished and shiny, staring at me from the garage... "drive me... drive me fast..."

Alas.

Yeah, it's a brand-new 2005 and I didn't really get a deal on it, only $1600 off. That's fine though by me.

I'm considering taking it to autocross but really this is meant to be the daily driver and nothing more. I don't plan for a single mod, or to turn a single wrench on the thing. I have another car that I take out to Streets of Willow and Buttonwillow often enough and I'm involved in some amateur racing stuff as a hobby so I don't really feel the need to flog the S too much.

I feel a cruise to Julian coming on though...!

She is a beaut. These cars are made to be flogged. Run her up to the redline, spin the tires, and try to get her to break her traction if you can. Sell the other car.

eslai:

I see you got the rollbar inserts and wind deflector...great move! Do yourself a favor and remove them when you leave the car anywhere with the top down for any length of time outside of your own garage.

These pieces are super expensive and thieves pop them off and sell them on Ebay.

There is one mod you should buy... the little red clip that goes into the hole where the top latches to the front of the windshield. This will enable your infrared motion sensors in the cockpit area when the top is down and your alarm system will go off if anyone puts their hands into the car to snag your CD's or Rayban's. You can buy it reasonably from the parts counter. I love mine, but note that it's not so sensitive that it will go off at the very back by your rollbars... so the first warning above still stands.
