Default My A6 4.2 has a new friend!

I've wanted a Porsche since I was 5 years old.
The time has arrived. The 4.2 remains as the cruiser of choice while the Boxster S is now the preferred tool for entertainment.

After 3 days with this car I can only say this...

There is no substitute.

'03 Boxster S

Life is good...

Default Just make sure you say Porsche-uh or all the p-car guys

will be all over you. You will absolutely love it. I still miss our 968 Cabriolet...The neutrality of Porsche handling is amazing.

Default When push came to shove, I wimped out and got the TT. At least I have something to...

... look forward to! I'm starting to see the downside of indulging in great cars. It is very hard to step back -- and stepping forward gets very expensive!

Default The TT Roadster is very nice...

...better built and better looking. More luxurious.
Just not my thing, I just love these brutes even if there are fancier cars out there. The S handling is unreal.

On the plus side, you get to drive in the winter and I don't!

Default Will do.

You are right, there is no handling like the Porsche handling. No compromise, everything is just right.
