It's not nearly as nice as Josh's, but this thing still looks pretty good for 11 years and 201,000 miles.

Definitely—looks great and hard to believe it’s getting to NY taxicab mileage. Looks a lot better than the last Panther I rode in.

Classing up my neighborhood:



Also not bad for a 14 year old car.

You’ve shown remarkable self-restraint with this car!

The thing is, anything even remotely more interesting is double, triple, or even quadruple the price. Being realistic, even with only 50K miles on it, this is a $20,000 car. Where are you going to find more car for that money?

Answer: you literally can’t.

I always pictured it as a dark color, for some reason. Looks great for sure.

No doubt. Love that color.

And for some reason, I love the early 987 rear end the best of all Boxsters all time.

This was what drove me nuts about the NA Miata. When I was driving it, it was a $2k car. JST's Boxster is objectively "better" in just about every way, but 10x better (at the time, more)?

No.
