Took a break from the madness today with my business partner:

Top of S. Pinehurst Rd. near Orinda, CA (nice Audi shot!)
<img src="http://www.corpimage.com/audi/LDS1.jpg">

Work? It's <b>Friday!</b>, we don't need no work! My buddy Carl and his new Boxster S and my "inherited" Z3. Actually, we're quite fortunate that there is a mound of work waiting back at the office for us, it's just that this road happens to point the other direction!

Crap that's red.

Default I thought Amulet was kind of dark, the toy is Fire Engine. (more)

It is a bit of a toy, but it is a wildly fun feeling as the back end <i>almost</i> breaks loose. I don't think the 4.2 could keep up with it on those tight twisties.

Given any short straight though the toy's 4 cylinder hurts it badly. The Boxster is simply a revelation...

As an everday car the Boxster is BORING. On the track or driven hard in corners, sublime.

before the snow starts to fly in a month (up here on the north pole) :-(

Although we love our Sport Sedans, there's nothing quite like a sports car is there?

Default Fabulous pic! Hows the heat in those things?

Can you run a 40F morning with a jacket and the top down?

Default Yup, great heater AND heated seats. The top was down but my wife got "chilly" and when she's chilly

It's VERY chilly, if you know what I mean. Top went right back up. :-)

Default I don't get in it without the top down (principle of it all); the heater works great!

Chuck has one of those girlie models with the heated seats and all....(envy, envy.....)

Make sure you use one of those "window blankets" for the rear window. They scratch badly otherwise.

Default Sorry everyone, I know this isn't the bmw site; Chuck tell me about that blanket (more)

my window is already a bit "foggy" and I'd like to prevent it from getting worse.

Can e-mail separately if you wish.

Thanks.
