Today I decided to take my 1999 on the Las Vegas strip for the first time.
I was racing around from stop light to stop light, playing chase with the Camaros and Mustangs that were doing the same thing.
Lots of people in town for SHOT Show, which is like SEMA for the firearms community that like to rent sports cars.
Anyway, I saw a father holding is small child, maybe 5 or 6 years old, and pointing.
The kid pointed just like his dad with his mouth open and eyes wide.
It also doesn't hurt that I don't have mufflers and was the loudest (douchiest) thing around. lol
It kind of makes me think about when I was just turning driving age and never much thought about owning a Boxster.
I got my license in 1999, and always disliked the head lights, and though convertibles were for women.
But here I am, with those ugly head lights and girl car, and I love it.
I also like bringing it back to its former glory.
Ordering new parts to replace the worn components and doing the maintenance.
Really makes for an enjoyable time.
Still, someday, I'd like to have a 911.
Perhaps a 996 GT2 or an old 911SC.
Right now, I daily drive a 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 6-spd.
I mostly drive the Boxster on weekends. (Fri, Sat, Sun)
I do feel as though I'm on the younger side of things as I'm 33 years old.
I got a pretty good deal on an ok shape Boxster and put a little money in it, solid vehicle.
However, I still think and act like a 16 year old.
I see 911, 986, 718, plus many other sports cars almost daily in Vegas.
To be expected.
