What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I trust Woody and he said to stay away (too badly flooded), but by the time I got his message, the seller accepted my bid.
After fees and shipping costs, I could have found a nice 97-99 Boxster for the same. Why did I do it? It's not about owning a nice car. It's about exploration, curiosity, and working with mechanical things. Just maybe this car will 'live' again, but not until after I pull it all apart.


...At least I'll have some nice wheels.

Just saw your and Woody’s post. It is a 550 SE. Great find. How’s the interior?

Is that a 550 SE? Those look like 18” Carrera lights painted in the Seal Gray over Arctic Silver. If so, what is the production number on the batwing?

Monday 1/15, still no car. It was supposed to be picked up by Friday and delivered over the weekend. I'm calling Copart this morning to see what the delay is.
All three of us posted at the same minute... funny.

I am traveling to visit family in NH and MA through the weekend, and the car is being delivered to a friends place while I am gone. I'll figure out exactly what it is and report back. Seems to be the Full cocoa SE. no view of the batwing yet.

...not sure how well the interior is going to hold up after the soaking.
