and probably have $10K or more in your pocket to cover
any general maintenance AND you've got only $20k of depreciation
to worry about.

It won't be an '11, but still a pretty darn good (and reasonably priced) Porsche!

Most people with the kind of money you have who buy a boxster buy it to drive it not to set off any "cockometers" as Jeremy Clarkson would say. So if you are into it for the thrill of driving than do the above and really enjoy driving that permagrin machine IMS worry free. Than you can also send me and Seningen a little from all the dough you have left to help us with our porsche funds.

Sorry but I really hate the american attitude of throw-away the old (in cars that is usually only 3-4 years) and consume the new. Take something old and give it new life. Just don't go as far as Randall did. Sorry Randall.
