Another confession. I've never owned this much car.

I "think" I know how to drive a stick, but I'm sure the Boxster is beyond my knowledge set.

IOW, I wouldn't mind so much making mistakes and beating on a Miata -- and as Rail26 thinks, I should want to beat on a Solstace -- but for a Porsche, I want to give the car the respect it deserves.

I'm not even starting to talk about racing or tracking the car. I need to improve my on-street driving skills so that eventually I can maximize the machine's potential, and at first, do no harm.

At least, if later I may break some of the rules for handling a Boxster, at least I should know what the rules are and how badly I'm breaking them.

With that windup -- does anyone know a good Porsche driving instructor in Orange County or nearby?
