I hope Big Jake buys his S car soon...
 

It's been kinda boring around here the past few days... :D

I'd say more like weeks ;)

Yawn...

Aiming for next weekend, test drove a few, and I must say I will definitely have to go for an S!

Well hurry up. That's what you said a week ago. This place needs some excitement.

why don't you marry him

You're on the wrong forum for that. :barf:

You drive a Tiptronic?

Don't encourage him. He already posts too much as it is :rolleyes:! High School kids need a life (or a summer job ;)). He joined a year later than I did and he already has nearly 3 times as many posts. I guess I need to post more?

Better than facebook, thats how I see it. :cheers:

Hey I have a great subjects to liven up the discussion
What Oil should I put in my Boxster
Its Time for new Tires and ...

I'm guessing Jake is waiting for those donations to start coming in

Here comes the Green eyed monster
A high school kid drives around in a Porsche ( I got to drive my Dad's 914 to school once in a while )
oh wait, now he's preparing to get another one

Jake - here's your car - go get it. And it's priced right.

You could take over the JD Speed Yellow sector of the forum... :dance:

How do you feel about cats and tipping smart cars?

And carrying small arsenals in your Boxster? :D

1,2,3.....in that order! (we watch dog shows)

Jake's 'Summer Project' was a close 4th....

In all seriousness, I was blown away by the replies to my 'Will Humans Ever Achieve Light-Speed' thread. Some seriously smart folks on here.

May be time to ask the board 'At what point does a fly turn upside down before landing on the ceiling'.....

Actually, it depends on what state he resides in......;)

Thank you, this car is a serious possibility, I would need to change out the tailights to go better with the yellow though but as I said, MANY THANKS!

aha I hope he gets it soon 2. I love this big Jake kid-with-a-Porsche guy a lot... dunno why... might be his character or the who I would have loved-myself to be when I was 16 years old ;)

hang on there.. or could it be because I drive a fliptronic?

Go-Go-Go Jacob!

One of the best looking autos out their, bad news is, I think I am going manual!

I hope he buys a safe beater (Honda, Subaru, etc.) and invests the rest of that big insurance check.
A 16 year old that starts his own investment portfolio at that age is the first 16 year old that breaks the mold.

Time value of money. A life-changing concept that most will never understand. Porsches are a dime a dozen, always will be.

Drink the Koolaid... go manual! http://www.freeanimatedemoticons.org.../party0036.gif

Love the understated interior with the hint of RACE! on those Pedals. I need to get some of those. Any recommendations?
How do they attach?

Jake has a very cool persona for a 16yr old, very refreshing.
Opinionated but still open minded. :cool:

We should discuss Cats tipping over Smart cars that are filled with guns, Mobil 1 and in need of new tires.

Don't overlook the paddle shifters...

and IMS replacement

how about this guy ...

Come on Jake, buy something.

I have made an offer on a forum car that has been accepted, planning to bring it home friday :cheers:.

new owner
 

Hey, i just stopped in and saw your thread here Jake, i finally put 2 and 2 together, and realized the guy i was talking to was BIGJAKE ! Congrats, glad the car is going to a young porsche enthusiast. You really ought to come down for the porsche DE day at Robeling road is savannah for some track time with the PCA and Bob Woodman, an excellent instructor--

yep, he's getting a really nice car!! Sad day for me but i have enjoyed my time owning a Boxster, but life dictates that i make a change. I have a '75 914 that i have put so much into that i refuse to get rid of it. i could have sold it and kept this, but you never know down the road, iw ill probably get another at some point. He got a great deal for sure!!

Jake seems like a great kid, pretty good negotiator, in the end it was timing and i know that he will take great care of this car. I was his age when i bought my first sports car, a '69 austin healey that was set up for A/X. It taught me alot about driving, like driving a motorcycle you become a better driver.
I think you will enjoy the 6 speed! great performance and yet good gas milage-

Jake, i will see you tomorrow :D

Pics when purchased

For sure, it is a great car. I have been trying to convince the parents to plan the Hilton head trips around track days haha!

Yellow is a good choice. It will make it easier for idiots in trucks to see you and not drive over your new boxster

I believe school policy is setup in a way that I can have his driving privileges revoked, which Is something I will look into going into next year.

be careful, he has friends (?)

that being said, enjoy the hell out of the car

Take the high road and move along
 

I would not be surprised if your car would be vandalized if you take this beyond where it has gone so far like you were suggesting. Mistakes/accidents happen and carrying out a vendetta will not win you any friends.

I plan to! I am very blessed to be able to upgrade to an S!

Compare the car you had, to the car you have. You may want to thank your friend with the pickup truck!

Congratulations BigJake! I didn't see this til now.

Here's a possible entry level "S" ends in 1 hour no reserve:

Porsche Boxster Boxster S | eBay

All right Jake! :cheers:

Awesome car - take good care of it. If it would have been closer, it would be in my garage and not yours. You've pulled off a great deal.

Have fun, be safe, and don't drive like a knucklehead!

Rick

98 base with tip to 00 S 6 speed. Still a boxster but a whole new driving experience thanks to a hillbilly in a 4x4 stomper. Nicely done young man.
