Because the road I live along is 2 mile stretch of unmaintained gravel, I've been forced to garage the D-mobile elsewhere for the last 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately, the only available garage that I could find - was located 10 miles away (that's 10 miles of backroad driving) With that said, unless I plan on going for a substantial drive , it's never convenient to take it out. In fact, the amount of time it takes for me to swap cars back and forth adds about 40 minutes to whatever I'm doing. So, I'm always discouraged from wanting to just hop in the car and take it out around town or on short drives. This probably sounds trivial to most, but it's a total pain in the a**. For that reason, I probably only drove it 1,000 to 1,500 miles this Spring/Summer. Prior to this, the vehicle was kept at a friend's place that was located 70 miles away, and for that reason it never got driven.

Easy solution... get yourself one of these:
Or one of these:
And a beater car/truck to pull it with.
Now you can drive your two mile gravel road, pulling the Dangermobile, find a parking spot, unload the Dangermobile and GO!

If your car can only be shipped in manila tax free i would buy it for 40k USD. In here it would cost around 80k per my guestimate with our silly taxation.

I don't think IanC is going to be pleased to see what you did to his car while he was away.

The spoiler appears to be screwed to the lid at a funny angle .
And kinda takes away from the "boxster is a girls car" theme
