Welcome, awesome looking car you have! I was pretty young when I got my 00' S, not as young as you though.

Taking it easy for the first 6 months is really good advice, you will still enjoy it, get to know the car and you abilities. Best bit of advice from my side, don't be a show off, EVER.

You have joined the right forum in terms of unlimited knowledge of these cars! Enjoy the car!

Jake is a really good example of a young person with a powerful car. He seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders, seek out and listen to his advise. You probably don't want to hear it from us old farts. I know, I have a 17 y/o son

I'll try maintaining the 16 year old mentality I have while driving!
Thanks for the advice

Now I'll still stall here or there, even forgot to put the parking brake down leaving the garage earlier this week (thankfully there is a light for that!)

Basically just we all make mistakes for sure including the older members here. But you are WAY more prone to them when first starting to drive.

(Man to man, don't keep the spoiler up around other guys your age, they'll call you a "tool," let it do its job at 75 plus and keep it down otherwise unless you're demonstrating or cleaning.)

Have fun! I wish my first Boxster was Yellow! Feel free to pm me anytime you want.
Yeah I get it man. I'll try my best and thanks for the spoiler advice to ahaha.
Sure will thanks.
