I miss her so much. not sure as to what im gonna get now, but it has to be a european car that has somewhat good handling and some power.

:ah:

Don't worry man, you gotta stay strong here.. just go to autotrader and find another boxster asap.. everything will be ookay.

i sold it because the plastic window got a tare in it and i didnt want to buy a new top. I have the complete tool kit that i bought for it a while back if any one wants to buy it from me. also the clear side markers.

This is a $350 repair. Strange reason to sell the car, no?

Would you consider the cayman S? Assuming if you will, that when you say you want power and handling, you'd be open to a hardtop. As much as I love my Boxster, I would have been a Cayman customer in a heartbeat if the price was right (I love having a convertible, but I'm completely blown away by the Cayman's growl and grip!!!). That being said, unless hospitals start paying residents like real doctors and not pond scum, I'll be (gladly) hanging on to my Boxster for a lotta fun-filled years!!!

Have fun discovering your next four-wheeled rocket!!!!

Maybe you should start playing the role of a "resident" on the hit series "Grays Anatomy".

How much does Pond Scum make, anyway?

I actually used to joke that I was going to med school strictly to play a doctor on TV - life would great if we're as it's depicted on Gray's Anatomy - I think in the 70's all that sex was taking place in hospitals!!!!

Pond scum (if you take into account the 80+ hrs/week) make a little more an hour than your friendly golden arches employee - but we usually get free scrubs, at least one free meal when on call and a pager!!!
