New 986 owner in the Bay Area, first foray into Porsche

Another San Jose Boxster

The full leather interior is where it's at, my 986 has that too.

Yessir!

Are there any meets or anything worth going to locally?

Depending on what you mean by meets, there is a list of racing, AX, DE, etc, events in your area at motorsportreg.com. And pca.com for non-racing events.

Yeah, I'll be taking it out to AX once a few things on the car are sorted out.

First Saturday of every month at EASY in Emeryville is the R-Gruppe meet. Here's an article I wrote about it.

And on the second Saturday, of course, is the Cars & Coffee at Canepa Design in Scotts Valley, which is definitely worth checking out. A lot of cool cars show up, plus they open up their workshop so you can poke around at all the cars being worked on.

Aero I is what attracted me to the car since it looked nothing like any other Boxster I've seen. Unfortunately the car was a bit too low for the previous owner and the bottom of the bumper is all torn up, hence the white racers tape on the bottom. I'm planning on getting it repaired, but I know that will take a while. I'll probably get a C4/Turbo front bumper as a substitute while the Aero I is getting repaired. Another option I was looking at was the GT3tek front lip as it would cover up all the nastiness haha.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I won't be able to get there until September, as I am on the road in Sothern CA for work. Ugh its going to be ridiculously hot.

I'm a first time Porsche owner, just bought a used 2005 triptronic Boxster with 62 K miles from a Porsche dealership on Friday...after driving it for less than 40 miles from the dealership it started spitting out oil(very clean), needless to say I'm taking it back to the service department Monday. any thoughts as to what this might be? I'm a bit in shock!
Thanks....
