Default OFFICIAL - 987 Boxster Picture Thread

I guess I can make it official.. so I will. Let's see your 987 Boxster in the most scenic place you've taken a photo of it..


2009 Base, PDK, modified exhaust, Sprint Booster, Sport-Plus/Chrono, modified sound.

If we get enough good ones - we might consider a contest looking for the 12 best - and make a calendar from them.

I don't have any good recent photos... I just haven't been enjoying this car very much since it's my last choice to come out of the garage; hopefully 2020 will change that.

New owner, recent purchase, first Porsche after dreaming of one for many years. 2011 Base, PDK, Sport Plus/Chrono. Haven’t had the opportunity to take it out much....so....having it in my driveway is a beautiful place for me.

What color top? Be very cool to have a tan or red top. Mine is the super dark blue.. you really have to look at it to tell it's not black.

The top is Cocoa.... nice deep chocolate brown. Goes well with interior. Its going to be almost 70 and sunny today in north-central VA....I think I’ll take her out for a quick ride up in Shenandoah Natl Park.

Thanks. Got to 65F here in NJ today, so it got washed, then it took me and SWMBO out to dinner - involving a very nice, top-down, really twisty back-roads ride to the restaurant and back. Really quite delightful.

Yes. OEM 19” Carrera Sports have GT silver (darker) spokes with cleared polished lip. New look this spring with new (to me) HRE FF 01s with PS4s just back from powder coater.

Adminitely biased to the 987 Boxster and still very pleased with it. Seems I don't take many actual pics of the car though, go figure. Here are a few...


Road trip with friends through Door County WI (beautiful place)



Road trip with friends to Nashville TN (beautiful music)



Natural state most days north of 40F.



Natural state most days during winter
