So, Nick... what did you think of the Boxster?

It's been almost two weeks, and no comments on your experience?

But but... the Boxster is slow and cheap and crappy with an ugly interior and you can't tell which direction it's facing.

You should get a Boxster only so you can use it to compete in A Stock next year.

Also, raw times in the Boxster were over 2 seconds faster than in the M3. That's pretty compelling.
