First of all I love my little Boxster, I have a 2000 base stick, but today I feel like I should've got an "S" and a TIP.

I love the way my car looks, the way it feels, I don't track it, it's my daily driver.
There is always something wrong with the car.. but it's small things.. with help from wonderfull ppl on this forum I can DIY it.
I wash and wax my toy often.. keep it over 2.5K RPM.. bring it to 6K from time to time.. I don't do street light racing, I know car is not made for that.. however today I feel like I failed the Porsche ownership name..

I was at traffic light, two lanes become one in a couple of hundred yards.. nearby was a toyota highlander.. normally I let them feel good and don't push it.. but this guy was giving me looks and acting all mighty..
He won.. I feel like ****************.. he was faster to guess when green will be on, it took me a long time to let go of clutch.. there was no space to recover a lost second..

I love driving stick.. but I always have to let go of clutch in two stages (otherwise engine dies) and if I wasn't perfect.. the time is gone.. Today I wish I had an S and a TIP.. that way I will always have same time 0-60

I need a driving lesson.. can anyone point me to where I can get one around Seattle? I heard you can get a lesson on track but I have no ideea where to start looking

Sorry for long rant
Sasha
I recommend contacting your local Porsche Club of America & attending a Drivers Education course. The 986 clutch is difficult to modulate, try more gas.
