Red face 2001 Gently Loved by Previous Owner

This is my new-to-me 2001 Boxster. We picked it up last night. My mom gave me a love of Porsches when I was very young, riding around in her '59 Bathtub. I always said I would own one 'some day'. My husband decided to surprise me and make 'some day' much sooner than I expected.

Between us we've owned everything from an '04 Mazda 3 to an '01 Wrangler, '72 Landcruiser (my first car!), '06 H3, '72 Camaro, a '95 Miata and a whole host of others in between.

Much to learn, much to mod, but looking forward to being able to do far more maintenance than I originally expected.

Congratulations on your new Boxster and welcome!

You'll find plenty of info on mods and DIY maintenance here. The Boxster platform is one of the easiest to work on yourself.

Let the fun begin and drive it in good health!

welcome!

our cars are twins ( even down to the greying air grills ).

we should go down 81 side by side and freak out cops.

Talking Thanks!

No lies...I was up scouring the forum and the Renn Tech forum until nearly 4 a.m. I already have my list. :dance:

And I'm back already.

The weather cleared up and it's not supposed to rain until late today. I may have to take a short drive at lunch......

...already talking about mods and cutting out at lunch for a bit of "go". Mind the permagrin (you'll find out) as it can become painful and 'others' will talk! You GO girl!!
