Hi, New 2001 Boxster owner from NJ

Hi,

I just picked up my Boxster (Silver with grey interiors) this Sunday in New Jersey and am very excited to be a part of this forum. I have ridden a motorcycle for many years and still do and understand the camaraderie that comes forth from members on forums like this. I read through a few posts and already feel like this is a great place to be and there are many very knowledgeable members on here.

Look forward to spending a lot of my time here and to many fun and productive discussions.

Cheers,
Amit

Welcome Amit,

I too have an Arctic Silver Boxster with Graphite Gray interior. I'm sure you'll enjoy the forum and will find a great deal of useful info here.

this is turning into a disturbing trend...

OP, unless you post a picture it did not happen.

Other forums have much tougher rules, no boasting about HP gains from modifications unless you show dyno, no boasting about a lap time unless you show Go Pro video. No boasting about your wife/gf being hot without bikini pictures, etc.

Welcome Amit.

Before and after pictures are great too.

Like how the car looked when you first got it compared to after being on this forum and learning how to best Wax/polish/detail, add mods, some skinned knuckles for proof of DIY engine bay work etc

Sorry guys, what was I thinking?

I tried earlier and realized my workplace restricts me from posting a picture although it seems like I can reply and browse the forum all right.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
