It's just as close to a perfect car as I've ever found. I just don't think I could be happy replacing it with a Tesla, nevermind the fact that the Tesla just wouldn't work on trips like these. Neither destination has any way to charge the thing, the superchargers en route are inconveniently located and it wouldn't be even close to as much fun on those roads. So at least for now a Tesla is off the table.
I don't think Tesla's quirks and limitations are the key here. There's something about that boxster that you really connect with. You should keep it, maybe forever, even if you do become an old man like me and buy a Tesla.
