Looks great Dave! This is on my list for next year perhaps. I'll be interested in how you like CarPlay.

Thanks! I'll post an update in a few months after I've had time to learn the workings of it all. It does a lot, and I'll be interested to see how much it increases my pleasure level while driving the Boxster. Not sure how much more pleasure this car could bring me. I already look like the Village Idiot, driving down the street with this huge smile on my face. LOL!

Gave it a nice workout this evening, topless of course.  I haven't had it out in about two weeks or so, it was needed.

Replaced my drip trays. The passenger side was so badly torn, no wonder I had water leaks. I'm really shocked that Porsche thought this was a good method for keeping water out of the interior. Poorly engineered.

Finally got to drive my girlfriends car yesterday! Love the short shifter. A little embarrassed though as a I stalled it twice before I got used to it's oddly lighter clutch.
However, what a wonderful car and boy do they look good side by side.

It's spring, and a young man's thoughts turn to his .......... Boxster 
Looking good, both of your cars!

Took a long drive my wife to Brattleboro, Vermont in sunny spring conditions. Car runs like a sewing machine. G*d I am happy when I'm driving it.

For the case of both me and the gf I think the previous owner had bought the lettering.
With my old boxster I bought a vinyl that said boxster in silver however the somewhat gold vinyl on my girlfriends car and the yellow on mine I'm not exactly sure.
I think I mayyyy have found it once on suncoast Porsche though.
