Nice pickup. Whatever happened to the red light reflector on the C4 or C4S? Or is that on another model?

Sweeeet! Looks like a matched pair.

How many miles on the younger one?

The 997.1 did not have the reflector, it came back with the 997.2 C4(S) (see my avatar)

your Boxster had at least another 300K miles on it...
But a 9 year old car that still looks brand new is pretty smart.
I doubt a non-Porsche person could tell the difference between any 997 and the 991 if parked next to each other.
The wallet on the other hand will feel the difference.

P.S.
What do you California guys do with C4's? Go off road mudding?

Nice!

P-cars are like heroin, highly addictive or Lays potato chips, you can't have just one LOL

I still find my Boxster more fun to drive than our 996 Targa. The extra HP in the 996 is nice, but for pure driving fun, 986 all the way!

Well,

#1: I like the wider hips of the C4S model vs. the "narrow body", and as we all know "hips don't lie"
#2: With the 4WD I am the king of every wet track day and it also has saved my bacon a couple of times on dry conditions

@Jaeger, beautiful ride and great color choice

That's for sure. I'm on my fourth one. I went four years without when I needed something more practical and the withdrawals were terrible.

Just over 40k and it looks new. Bought it from Mclaren dealership in SF. Can you believe it, someone traded it in on a Mclaren... Go figure.

Some people have too much money.

You'll have the new one into triple digit miles in no time. Enjoy. (on the beach)
