The true mean of..."Porsche Boxster" (long)

Dear Boxster Owners,

Sit back from the keyboard, take a deep breathe and think of the awesome automobile sitting in your driveway. The one with the name BOXSTER on the back. Sometimes you forget why you bought this magnificent car in the first place. I know there can be some "distractions" to blur that image buts its still their, you just forgot about it. So forget the engine replacements, oil leaks, soft top problems, soft paint, Valmet vs. Stuggart, dents, scratches, paint chips, which wax to use, Z3 drivers, rattles, rear window creases, dealers, option list, PCNA and what you have when you throw all that garbage out is the clearest picture on the face of this earth....YOU driving YOUR Boxster on YOUR favourite twisting road. That permanent grin attached to your face, the handling, the wind in your face, that cool engine sound (wow!) and of course, that passenger telling you to slow down! Thats what its all about my friends and you sometimes forget it. Your the one with the Boxster in your driveway!

I got the inspiration for this post today when I was riding my bike and this beautiful machine zipping along main street. It was a silver/red/back Boxster. I know it was a Boxster the second I laid my eyes on it. I stopped dead in my tracks and yelled "Holy cow, that's a Porsche (with two syllables) Boxster!" My mouth dropped and my eyes bulged out of my head. I turned my bike around and peddled up to the driver (at a red light) and told him what a great car he was driving and that I love it so much. He replied "Thanks, I love it too!" and drove off.....That engine sound is so breathtaking I must have just stood there on the side of the street for 5 minutes replaying that sound in my head. Gosh, I love that car!

I just wanted to make sure all Boxster owners realized what a great car they have dispite some distractions! I hope I haven't offined anyone or bored anyone to death. Sorry for the long post Pete.

P.S. Now, your wondering why a 14 year old would know what driving a Boxster feels like. Well...I feel like I own one because I have been following this board for a year and have read 90% of the messages. I got addicted somewhere in between there.
