Got mine out over the weekend. It was only 49 but I still rode with the top down. People thought I was crazy . . .

Still have mine up on Jack Stands trying to finish up the repairs that I wanted to do this winter. The weather really sucks here so I don't feel so bad.

still another week or two yet. My in-laws have a nice insulated shed in their back yard, but still too much snow in the yard to get her out. And now with the temp dropping again, it's just not melting fast enough!

Does this sense of anticipation and frustration ever wear off? Or do even the most veteran Porsche owners still wait with baited breath for the arrival of spring?

Not really, but it can be managed.
Sit in your Boxster, turn the steering wheel aggressively and making screeching noises with the help of an adult beverage.
Trust me, this clinical treatment actually works.

Well we got snow on the first day of spring, but I took mine out yesterday for a short ride around town. The top didn't come down but that is because it was only 48F and secondly I'm afraid the tear in the plastic window will get worst. I'm replacing the top w/the glass version for my 2002. Can't wait for warmer weather!
