Ho boy. How many of us have done exactly this? Had no idea it was a serial crime.

I have a boxster because...I threatened to buy a Ducati.

Nice car and welcome!

I kind of used the motorcycle angle with my wife too. Hehe. Up until last year I was a track day instructor (see avatar). I told her I wanted to try my hand out in the car track day world and picked up the Boxster.

I had a Harley once and got married. She didn't like the Harley so I sold it and bought her a diamond ring. Now she's gone and the Harley's gone and I sure miss the Harley.

Howdy neighbor then! Here's MBR's site, it doesn't change much because no one keeps it up but sign up for the mailing list and you'll get emails about upcoming events. There's a lot of $$$ Porsches in the group but the Boxster crowd is growing.
