Picking up a 99 Boxster tomorrow, it's a 5 speed 2.5 and nicely kept. Should be a nice addition to the stable as long as my wife allows me to have the keys once and while!

Anyways here is the obligatory pics, I opted out of the wheels and getting the stock turbo twists.

Welcome. I would like to go back to the stock rims also.

Yep they were too blingy for me!

Bit of info on the car its a high miler (160,000 miles) and the current owner bought it with a blown engine. He purchased a engine, clutch and transmission from a wrecked 70,000 mile car and put the whole assembly in with a new water pump, aos, belts etc (he works a an independent Porsche shop). Since the swap he has had it for 2 years and put about 5000 miles on it. Has new Bilstein sport shocks and a new top as well. Car is super clean for the miles and drives excellent, it started its life in California before making its way to Canada.

I couldn't turn it down, paid 8k CDN which is about equivalent to 6k USD and it comes with a safety check and emissions test. Felt I couldn't go wrong.
