1...So what if other topics are discussed in GD. No moderator I have ever seen here has requested we stick to Boxster or Porsche topics. Should I request my smart car tipping thread be locked? What about JD not being JD anymore? I have never minded going off topic here and there. Refreshing conversation, actually. I have less time for internet police who want a pic of a gun pulled, or OT threads locked, or any OT comment censored. Just don't read or comment on those posts.

2...Gotta agree. If he rents his first place (an apartment) with his very own wages from the beginning with nothing more than a fridge of food from his parents (which I was damn thankful to get) then I will be impressed. I grew up somewhat poor, but we had a house & small yard. To each their own and I really do hope they get what they want for Christmas...Several apartments gone by before I had a yard. (Isn't this off topic?)

3...The less miles, the better on ANY car. These cars run fine at higher mileage, as long as the regular maint was done.

OP

Congrats on your new acquisition in advance, if you ever decide to go for it.

Changing pretty much everything on that little roadster to make it worthwhile is less than 10k (new full suspension kit, brakes, tires, rods, wheel bearings, complete engine tune-up, coolant reservoir and an AOS). You still got a "Porsche Car" for less than 20k

Can't wait to see pics and read your first rides' comments. Great little car, have fun mate
