Hey Blinkwatt:

Happy Birthday! A guy like you is giving me some faith in the generation of your youth. You're doing great. Your parents should be proud.

Now, just watch your speed...we'd like to keep you around the forum for awhile.

Congrats! I am now 28 and understand what it is like to have a nice car at a young age. When I was 23 I had a '00 3 series, 25 I had a '02 5 series, I now have a '05 E Class and an '04 RX330 and I am about to get a '06 Boxster. It is great to be young and have money. Be prepared, people will be jealous and talk some trash but you must remember that each time it is a compliment in a twisted way. Never apologize for having nice things.

That is a unique and beautiful color and a gorgeous car.

CONGRATULATIONS!

My first car was a 63 Sting Ray convertible that was actually close in color to your Box. At 17, I truly loved that car.

Wished I had kept it. Traded it for an XKE!

Best of luck!

Wow, that's great to hear. What a killer car, I love the color. There is no better feeling than buying your own car, especially a car that cool. I was 23 when I bought mine and people accused me of being spoiled, so definitely be prepared for that. Congrats!

(root beer of course...)

Ditto!!

Congrats on your new baby! The great thing is you will feel the same way years from now when you get in her. :dance:

Bruva, alls I gots to say is watch out for da haters! They all up in herr. (not herr as in this board, but everywhere you go. It's hard to sound hip when you have to make parenthetical sidenotes.)

Anyway, congrats. Mind your speed, don't drag race, watch how you park (park far away and avoid 2 spots if you can). Your age greatly increases the "hey let's key that kid's car" factor.

And when you bring a lady into the car for the first time... drive it like it's a Corolla! Seriously, I can't stress this enough.

I'll say go buy another beater avoid driving the boxster to places such as schools....ppl at your age tend to do things out of the ordinary and if someone gets jealous, your car will definitely become the target. Good luck and yes, you car looks great!

Yes I have a Jetta that has been lying around the house that I will take to see if it passes smog and drive that to college/work. I have felt some jealousy from people I have known,but hey thats how life is. Here is a new pic of the clear taillights installed and the new license plate frame I installed. Now to get the steering re-aligned and I need to detail it.

Blinkwatt, you should get your bumperettes painted to match the exterior. www.bumperplugs.com has this, in your color, for about $245. Just a suggestion.
