[me, picking nits] But "more car" is definitely subjective. What one person values isn't necessarily what another person would. Some people would more highly prefer a 50K mile $20K Lexus LS, or a beefy off-roading jeep. To each their own. |

Every time I drive this thing I'm blown away by just how...good it is to drive. It's not super fast (it's by far the slowest of my three cars), and you can definitely find faster cars for less money, but I maintain none of them will be as rewarding to drive as this car is. 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. |

Totally agree. That car would be very hard to part with for that amount of money. But if you're ever thinking of selling, that would like very nice in my garage!

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. |

Not the best picture, and it needs another bath after being driven in a few rain storms recently but it stays a ton cleaner after the Gyeon treatment. It's not cheap, but I'm pretty much ready to throw out all my other paint sealants and waxes after using that stuff.
Anyway, it just rolled over 80,000 miles on my way to work the other day. It's still a joy to drive. |
