I was planning on waiting til I got the 951 back together and sold, but... the right deal came along. I picked it up today.

Non-dealership pics of it will be forthcoming when the weather clears (it's raining here in Illinois).

I drove it back from Chicago in the rain, and it handled well. It's much more comfortable that I thought it would be with the top up, and the visibility is excellent--the only thing that gave away that it wasn't a coupe was the wind noise, which did become annoying after the first hour. I wish the seat had more lumbar support--it felt and looked like the design hadn't been changed since my 951--but other than that it was comfortable. I had plenty of legroom, which I thought might be an issue.

I don't know if it is, but it felt heavier than my 951. Not unmanageably so, but definitely heavier.

Anyway, I'm excited to (hopefully) spend much more time driving a Porsche and less time wrenching on one. I'm going to miss my 951, but there's only room in the house for one.

Oh...I thought you were talking about an '05 boxster....

Kudos on the purchase! I love the lapis blue colour....it looks good. enjoy driving it!

The boxster is more comparable to the 944 n/a in weight. The 951 is definitely heavier.

Looks good, im glad you finally found what you were looking for!
