But I longed for a convertible still, and about 6 months ago, I traded in the Volvo for the certified pre-owned Bimmer. We figured 4 seats, so we'll just plop the kid in the back if we ever have one.
Well, we're till trying to have kids, but none yet (what was I ever worrying about when I was a teenager???  ). So I figured what the hell, screw practicality, if we ever have a kid, we'll just tow them around in my wife's car. And I will keep a car seat around for emergencies. In the meantime, I'm gonna live life! So I took the plunge and got the Boxster. I took a big $$$ hit on the BMW since I had only had it about 6 months. But one test drive in the Porsche made me realize it was worth it!

Great minds think alike. I also got rid of a new car after only a couple of months after test driving the '07 Boxster. Congrats and good luck.

Yes, it has grey interior. I purchased mine three weeks ago in Newport Beach, CA. I am a first time Porsche owner and decided to go with the base package. I figured if I later decided the car wasn't for me I wouldn't take too much of a hit on resale. But needless to say the car has exceeded my expectations and I am sure it won't be my last Porsche. I got the heated seats, wind stops, and stereo upgrade. My wife catches me staring at it in the garage.

Very nice with the Grey interior!
Yeah.. I can't help but stare at mine when I walk away from it in a parking lot.
