GI in Germany, First Porsche!!!

Guten Tag from Bavaria. Im on active duty here in Germany and told my wife that if we were going back to Germany, that I wanted a Porsche. After nearly a month of shopping around, I found the one. I purchased a 2000 Boxter 986 with 160,000 km. Full disclosure, I went into this purchase kind of cold and unaware of Boxterisms which became apparent 2 hours after I drove out of the previous owner's driveway. As we stood on the side of the Autobahn calling for a tow truck, I wondered if I was in over my head. After a new water pump, belt, pulley, thermostat, and battery, my love for the car has grown 10 fold. I absolutley love driving it. Just this weekend my wife mentioned heading to a farmer's market for some fresh vegetables and I negotiated with her to take the car many towns over. Im sure many of you have driven over an hour for some fresh tomatoes! In closing, Im no gearhead and inevitably will have many dumb questions. I hope you seasoned guys will be willing to offer some mentorship to a green Porsche owner.
