First picked the car up in late 2010 in New Orleans, LA had 34,000 miles and I did not know how to drive stick, learned quick trough New Orleans rush hour to get home. Fell in love and never stopped wrenching since. Suprisingy reliable only failure to date is a water pump (currently 86,000miles). First Porsche hopefully not my last. Say what you want about the Boxster being a girls car until you drive one you won't understand, but I will agree It could use a little more power. Hope to keep this one to the day I die.
