Potentially a lot more fun than an average of 52mph.

I wonder what the average number of shifts per hour would be at 22mph versus 52mph. I suspect the 22mpg number would be much higher. If shifting is about fun, wouldn't more shifts/hour = more fun?

I actually agree with this - a higher average MPH means, most likely, a ton of highway driving where there isn't much shifting done at all.

My average MPH is somewhere in the 25 to 30 range, it's mostly country roads with the slow-down occurring in the populated areas - I shift a LOT, especially over the hills and sweeping turns - it's fun (if not particularly 'fast').

I love the look of that car, the color combo, wheels, etc. look great!!

Just agree, too bad it is not an S. It is expensive enough that I would absolutely have to pass in favor of an S.

Definitely more shifts per hour at 22. Maybe I will count on the way home.

Almost all of my driving is on city streets.

All of the 2000-2002 Boxster S cars had white gauges.

Black so doesn't suit the boxster.

FC's spec is close to mine.. However, if he means the current fashion carbon seats, I have no interest. They seem to have serious discomfort potential.

Not a big yellow fan, but if that 09 you posted were an S and new, I'd seriously be thinking about a trade of my 06.

Yellow is the best!

Ok, I counted on the way home.

44 gear changes in 3.8 miles.

JST-

Was this one this cheap the last time we mentioned it? I recall it being around $24k.

Yes, the rims suck. But this is pretty cheap for a 987.

Yeah, I think that's what they were asking for it the last time I looked. FWIW, I think the blue one dropped a grand in price. It's still the nicest one I've driven to date, other than the nuclear orange one I drove this morning.
