Pictures of the car I bought last week

[Dale_K]

It got up to 70 today in Hot Springs, Arkansas so it was a good time to get out the buffer and polish the 2000 Boxster S I bought last week. It turned out fairly decent except for the stone chips, etc on the front.

This is me down at the Honda dealer today. That's where I bought the car. The previous owners traded for a Chevy SSR. It's a coincidence that the Social Security Office is right across the street behind the car. But not a complete coincidenc because my first SS payment is supposed to come in early February. The extra income gave me enough courage to buy a 100k mile Porsche.

Congrats! It's BEAUTIFUL!

Polishing tends to make you notice all of the paint chips and imperfections. Driving tends to make you forget about them. I prefer the latter.

Congrats on a beautiful car.

Oh, you're gonna like this car, indeed, at our age, you "need" this car. Any trip, be it a short trip to pick up Chinese take-out, or a 200mi sunny day blast through the hills is just full of smiles. I've had porsches for 35 years, and I still feel 21, after a few 'redlines', every time I drive mine. I bought my latest to celibrate my youngest kids' college graduation. After my years of family austerity (see broke), doing my 'dad' thing, I got a little piece of my youth back. This also involved retirement, so we have more time to enjoy driving. Address the standard problems Boxsters have and drive it in a fearlessly... and with some anger .

Thanks for the reply. Here is another picture I took the same day but didn't post. I sometimes feel the "need for speed" and the Corvette can handle those moments. It has so much power that it's thrilling in a way the Boxster will never match. They're both good cars.

I'm fortunate to live within 1/4 mile of one of the greatest sports car roads in the USA, Arkansas Rt. 7, through the Ouachita mountains. It's hard to resist the inner Mario Andretti while driving it.

Good for you! A Kick butt V8 Vette and A Boxster slot car! Got the best of both worlds. That road picture has me drooling....

Thanks for the great pictures!
