Default Today is a sad day...

Today, my father, cancelled his order on the 2006 boxster S. I tried everything I could to get him to reconsider, but he said that he needed a car with a little more interior space, and that my mother, wasn't a big fan of the "vroom vroom" cars. It seems that he has crossed over to the dark side, and placed a deposit on the 2008 (i think?) bmw 3 series convertible. No one is even sure of exactly what the car looks like, but many speculate it will be a hardtop convertible, which my father is intrigued by. That's about it, it's a depressing day when a man gives up a boxster S for a bmw 3 series, (they were both the same price...) but maybe I'll learn to like it.

On a much brighter note, I've changed my s/n, and now it's Mateoloco...

...that is all...

Default the pic of that 3-series looks ugly as hell!

hopefully that is not what the production model is going to look like. does you dad really want to wait 2 years to get his car?

Default He should reconsider, our 986 has been one of the best cars we've had...

Its been dead reliable(with 44k) and inexpensive to maintain as a daily beater. Porsche has really stepped up their game. I just don't get the Bangle designs. We've had alot of BMW's in the past and liked them, but would never buy a Bangle designed car.

Default that's what i tried to argue, and the 987 is just pure bliss...

I remember stepping into the showroom and seeing the black on black boxster S 987 and almost $hitting my pants. That car is soooo hott looking.
