New owner with a 91....I mean...
 

So...long story short my best friend's dad unfortunately passed away :( and my friend inherited his dad's 1999 Carrera 911 Cab with 31,000 miles. My friend's wife wanted no part of keeping the car. :mad: He didn't want to sell the car to some stranger and regret it down the road. He asked if I was interested... I borrowed the car for the weekend and fell in love. I talked it over with my wife who wasn't totally sold on the 911...until she drove it. I knew I married her for a reason! Texted my buddy to say I'd buy it for the agreed upon price and I'd bring him a check. He tells me he's convinced his wife that they should keep the car. I was so bummed! The 911 was in mint condition aside from needing the front bumper painted. Someone backed into it.

At this point I was bitten by the Porsche bug and had to have one. I searched for a comparable car but every 996 911 I'd consider was out of my price range. I started doing more research on Boxsters and opened up my search to include them. I found a couple I liked and went to check them out. I wound up buying an 03 Boxster S this morning after searching for a while. Pic below after a nice 130 mile cruise today! :cool: I will be detailing the car this weekend.

Nice - beautiful color/wheel combo!

+1, thats color really pops. Welcome to the forum.

Looks great, love the color combination. Welcome to the group.

Thanks! Glad to be here!

I like the Boxster better. Congratulations.

Wow!
You lost out on the car I walked away from (an incidental find while boxster shopping), and bought the car I was looking for when I bought mine (I settled for my second choice of year and color, which grew on me). That is a beautiful Box.

Oh wow! That is pretty funny! At first I wasn't sold on the 911 because it was a cab but after driving it for a weekend I realized my opinion of convertibles has changed with age.

Thanks for the compliments all! Unfortunately I can't drive the Box all weekend (its absolutely gorgeous out too) since I have my 3yr old daughter while the wife is away for the weekend.

Car seat issue? You can get a airbag shutoff for a car seat.

Yeah, I found the Latch system on Pelican. I just have to order one and have the airbag shutoff. :cheers:

Beautiful car. I love my '03 S as well.

Love that color combo! I have a silver F150 as my DD as well :)

Thanks!

Thanks! Little bit of a difference in driving the experience huh? Hahaha.

Great color! That was one of my top 3 colors when I was searching for mine. Welcome!

hi
 

welcome to the forum

Love the blue (midnight or lapis? - hard to tell in pics sometimes) and beige combo. CT plates match nicely, too - I might add. I'm picking up an 03 Base next week with the same combo.
