If he does he's a brunette man cause Goldie was barely dressed and not as old as Methuselah when they taped it. Oh and Mark, that old lady skit doesn't mean regular Ruth wasn't an e ticket ride.

Experience talking, Ghost? Ok, let's start a poll... how many people on this forum have done Ruth Buzzi?

Even I was too young to get busy with Ms. Buzzi and now you're talking hip fracture risk

Before I bought my 2001 S in 2010, I had a 1999 Miata I owned from new, and was a daily driver. I miss the Miata because I had spent many $$$$ customizing it, which was tremendous fun. I am finding it much more difficult and expensive to customize the Boxster.

The single biggest difference between the two cars is the shifter. The Miata's shift action was heaven. The Porsche cable shifter is...a disgrace. Sorry, but that's the way I feel. I have tried the 9x7 shifter, and now use the B&M, and I am still not happy. Shifting the Miata was very natural and effortless, whereas the Boxster shifts must be planned and deliberate.

No argument here. My '88 MR2, with a cable shifter, shifted much nicer than the Boxster, as did the Miata (before I took it apart for the V8 conversion). The shift feel is the worst thing about the way this car drives. The rest is about perfect.
