Traded the Boxster S for a Jeep on Friday...
Wife and I went to look a a pair of kayaks and started talking about how to transport them. I suggested that we buy a roof rack for her R32, she suggested that we finally buy the Jeep that we had been talking about for years. I stipulated that it had to be a manual trans, 4 door, with power windows/door locks, cruise, and a hardtop thinking that the combination would be difficult to find. Damned if there wasn't one that fit that criteria on the used lot for the Hyundai dealership about 12miles away...
After some negotiations, they offered me almost what I payed for the Porsche 11mos ago and offered us the Jeep at below book pricing. Signed the paperwork after work on Friday and drove this home.
While the Boxster was a scalpel and felt just fine travelling 60mph on a winding 2 lane road, this thing is "deceptively slow" in comparison. It is the equivalent of a bowling ball crashing through a window. It's really fun to drive in a different way than the Porsche was fun to drive, but I'm not worried about where I park it like I was with the Boxster. The Wife promised me that I could get a 911 when it was time to trade in her car in a few years, and I'm buying a friends Ducati 749 next week (Sold my 750SS last year to help fund the Porsche), so everything is working out and going to be ok, just taking a hiatus from Porsches for a while.
Thank you all for helping me out and answering questions, and most of all the technical references that are here for all to see.
