^I prefer the 986, but the 987 rear end is much nicer. The front end that struck me as too Japanese looking for me has grown on me a bit. I still like the GT1 fried egg lights better, provided they have the Particle Wave/Nine8Six re-do with the black housing. Part of me thinks the 987 for the money, is going to age a lot better than a stock looking 986 with small wheels, no aero and bare bones interior. That's not how the brilliant designers intended it to look when the concept car was unveiled.
Which by the way you should see in the latest issue of Excellence Magazine. They have a fantastic two page photo of the concept car that is frame-worthy. According to the article the car was initially called the Porsche Spyder which later became the "Boxster" once the marketing guys got involved. Butzi Porsche apparently kept trying to water down the design so that it would look more like the 964/993 and not look so cutting edge in comparison. |

Rare "Boxter GT3" model

I never said it drives bad. All things stated are purely cosmetic opinions. Same as if I think guards red is better or carrera white. It's my opinion and others have theirs. Purely cosmetic. |

But that's ok since they're not real Porsches. :cool: |

It just needed dusting off when I found it - nothing wrong with it at all. Well - it did have some cat prints on the top... |
Gt3
Definitely the nicest Boxster GT3 with orange interior lighting I have ever seen. Don't overlook the selling points that it has also been in a minor accident and had four owners. So many pluses.

I'm sure if I buy a 981 I will likely not care for the 987 anymore. |

As far as not real Porsche, well I'm used to this now since I've heard it for 20+ yrs of owning 944 turbo S. what's funny is I've blown away a lot of 911's with this car specially when they gave me a thumbs down but that's not important. What's important is we're happy and satisfied with what we have. You know I've called 996's the bastard of 911's before. This is typically my response to them when they insult any of my cars. My reason or this is ealy 996 are only 911 from behind the driver seat. The front half is the same car as a 986. Seems like Porsche didn't know if they wanted to produce a 986 or a 996. |
I've been outbid...
Shucks... ;) Meanwhile, this guy can probably hardly contain himself with a couple hundred of us watching his auction :D |

^ too obscure for a meme: You need to A) be fluent in more than one language (eliminates 90% of the population) and B) need to have premium cable TV (may not exist in 10 years) and if you satisfy both A and B, you need to be C) a fan of a particular show about fire breathing dragons, kights, zombies and other nerdy stuff. Oh and D) you need to watch said show from the beginning to even get the joke.

Oh yeah, you do know the show is based on BOOKS, yes? Couldn't you just read the books, too? Having read them, I do understand the challenge as they are longer that they average Shade of Gray. |
