After much soul searching and hard work, I purchased the following:
2003 Seal Gray S with light gray interior, tipronic, Carrera 5-spoke wheels and Bose audio system. It is a California car, lease return, with 43,000 miles and 9 months left on the factory warranty. The car is great as is sits, but it will not be stock for long.

I saw your 964 in an earlier thread, that was beautiful - especially nice job on the interior. Was it totaled in the crash?

Let the perfect driver among us cast the first stone. I have watched the best drivers on the planet spin their cars. Have you ever spun the 993??

Did you even read the post, or were you too flabergasted that someone would actually chose a 986 over another 964?? After all, you admittedly consider the Boxster to be a "Secretary car"..........why even post here??

Here's a big FYI for you......"good drivers" can also make mistakes...
I see no benefit in kicking a guy......well,.......after he lost his car!! Additionally, opinions and preferences are fine but your ongoing bitterness about "new Porsches" is a little old. Take some of your own advice and "give it a rest"

I never said that I was "surprised" the rear end came around on me. I am actually quite familiar with p-cars, as I have been driving Porsches for over 15 years; 911s for the past 5 alone. The rear engine weight distribution issues of the 911 are well known and I am very familiar with the swaping ends possibilities and the corrective actions that should be taken to avoid a mishap. I AM a good driver, so I don't appreciate anyone implying otherwise. The purpose of this thread was not to get into my driving capabilities, but rather to introduce my new p-car.
I appreciate those well-wishers and would invite any others to not post in my thread. Thank you.
