Yes it was great yesterday. Even though I drive my Box throughout the winter yesterday was the first time it was warm enough(about 6C) or dry enough to get the rpms up much to the consternation of somebody that was too close to me as the light turned green. There is lots of gravel on the roads so the following car got sprayed with gravel(oops).

Will likely change to a/s tires this week and if we get a big dump of snow I can use my wife's Camry.Happy days again. Each spring seems to get sweeter.
Cheers, Guy.

Crod, forgive my ignorance, but what is the car on the left in the picture?

50s F in Jackson Hole lately. Hard top coming off before long :dance:! I'm down in Tucson right now and I sorely wish I had my Boxster here!! Except that the streets are crap; pavement's like a motocross track!

No worries Joe! The big brother is a Lamborghini Gallardo, another great car I have. Love them both and seeing the Boxster last night all cleaned up, since we did a paint correction, was something really impressive. Paint is still unbelievable after 13 years.
The Lamborghini is all dirty after the drive as I had no time to cleanup and with the snow melting anywhere you drive there is water on the road. Definitely does not help keeping it clean.

Does the Lamborghini make you with the boxster had AWD or glad that it is RWD?

I think I am very happy the way both cars are. Never tried a RWD Lamborghini like the Balboni Edition ones. I can easily convert it to RWD (and still able to undo it if I want) but I like the AWD as it is and keeps the car original.
Very different vehicles for sure but both amazing at what they were designed for.
