The other thing about it, especially in this color, is that it doesn't LOOK like a 14 year old car that only cost $20k.
You've hit on why I still have mine. Mine is closing in on 80,000 miles (purchased it with around 30k). I finally broke down and did a full detail on it about a month ago. Clay, two stages of polish, another wash, and a full Gyeon ceramic application. It's … stunning. And such a great car to drive.

I owe it a set of plugs, air filters, a serpentine belt and an oil change. Now that the RX-8 is off the lift and driving around I need to put some love into the Boxster.
