Porsche-Eh....

....Fair, enough.

I'm with you there.

I put 325,786 miles on my 1993 Miata and another 257,891 miles on a 1990 miata that I installed a Flyin' Miata turbo kit on.

I wanted more of a "GT" car and that is, indeed, why I chose the Boxster.

The Elise, Exige, S2000, were too much like my old Miata and too hard core for my more cushy, GT needs, as I have aged.

STILL, an extra 50 pounds at the TOP of the car, is bad for a GT as well.



The removable hard top is the "classic" choice. Soft top, removable hard top, and a tonneau cover, are the classic sports car trinity solution tops for purists.

On a road trip, if you are visiting a certain area and using one central location as a base of operation, you drive across the country with the hard top on, remove it at your destination and put it inside your rental home, and make day trips with the soft top, then replace the hard top for the trip home.

Simple.

Me too! Except mine was a '97 (see below - had the 1.8 but also the stupid ride height). Good for 20 year olds; and those who want that British car feel but better built
