Here is a road trip report from last weekend when I drove my 2001 986 to Atlanta and drove home a 2013 981. ... Bob

Congratulations. I had a similar experience last May when I drove to TN to trade in my 2010 Boxster for a 2013 Boxster S. Your car looks fabulous, love the guards red. The 981is such a great ride. Enjoy.

Very nice read, but now you got me wanting to trade my 08 BS in on a 981.

Unfortunately my means outweighs my wants.

I must admit it was quite "weird" seeing a Boxster surrounded by snow.

And of course more snow today after a mild winter here; probably will not be able to drive it for 2 weeks after purchase...:-)

Nice write-up! Thanks for posting. Super beautiful ride and I know the feeling of slipping into a new model and turning the key and completely forgetting about your beloved "old dog". Such is life.
Enjoy!
P.s. What's interesting to me know is that I do think back to certain highlights of my 06 C2S and my 08 TT cab and wish for a day I had them back! Alas... I can't have them all.

Or is it that your wants outweigh your means. That's my situation for sure.

Err, ya that's it.

awesome write up and love the pictures of the trip- nothing more exciting than the road trip to pick up the new member of the family!

You know I took my 2012 BS in for service. They gave me a 2015 Boxster as a loaner. After about 3 hours I brought it back to get a Cayenne. Something about the newer one just didn't do it for me. Looks wise I would get it hands down, but not for driving.

Going on 3rd week with it sitting mainly in garage; one more snow coming tomorrow and then maybe spring will arrive...maybe!

Very nice write-up. I also have a 2013 Boxster S I bought used last Nov with similar options - PDK, Sports +, but with a black leather interior and really like it. I had a 2006 Cayman and while I enjoyed the car I wanted something with a lot more power. Went with a 2011 Shelby GT 500 and satisfied the power bug. But missed the Porsche handling and came back to the Boxster S. I am finding that the more hp in the 981 is my cup of tea and at this point I am not missing the Shelby at all.

BTW I am in the Richmond area and am also ready for some much nicer weather so I can get the car back on the road!
