My advice to you is read about how to exercise the motor which by the way is rather small but more than enough if you keep the rpm up. This car is amazing, enjoy.:dance::dance:
Wow I didn't know I have to exercise the motor...I will read up on it. I only drive a total of 6 miles to and from work so I don't know how much exercise he can get with that unless I always go from 0-60 in 6 seconds in each stop light LOL!!:p

Welcome, I'll 2nd the PCA membership. Zone 8 is really active. Lots of events, track days, DE, etc. A lot of dealers will provide a 10% discount, if you show your card. Plus, the PCA throws in a subscription to PANORAMA.

If you can't have silver, I suppose white is a good alternate.:D

Happy Motoring

No luggin allowed
 
Since the motor is smaller the rpm must be kept up to not put strain on it. The mistake people make is they shift out way to early and lug the motor around. I don't shift until between three and four grand on the average. It may sound like you are reving the car to death but you aren't , this car was made to drive it like you stole it .

Oh yeah I read about that...I just didn't know why it had to be revved that high...good explanation. Will keep that in mind. Thanks again!!

Sounds like you happened upon a Boxster like mine. I have a white 98 with about 50K miles in excellent condition. Inside and out. Have fun with it !
