Ken, mine is a Fiat "Boxer" not a Porsche "Boxster", although the "box" is the name of both for the same reason.

Ken.. You must really want to start something by calling it a "boxster"

Frank, I know your Boxster is a fun car, and I like its looks, and I know it won't break, but can you really say you get the same thrill as when you had a Ferrari?

I took a friend from work to lunch in the 328 yesterday. Both times we exited the car, he turned and looked as we were walking away. He said it made his Corvette look like a Caprice.

Now anyone tell me a corvette does that to you?

Drove the 328 to work myself today. 18 mile drive and since I got up late the road was wide open 85 mph the entire way. No real chance to get on it, but just a constant nice pace. The last light before the parking lot I redlined it 2nd and 3rd before late breaking heel toeing into my turnoff. Ohh man, have I told everyone here how much I just love Ferraris.

I love that!! The rare days I drive my Lotus to work, the day flies by! I'd do it more often but the drive home at rush hour is an hour and 20 min. in heavy stop and go and that's not fun. I only drive when I'm going somewhere else and not driving until later in the evening.

I havent drivin my car in six weeks. shame on me. been so busy lately.

Got up early, went outside on my back deck, and just stared at the dew glistening red ferrari. ok, I have had the car for three years now. and I still freeze in my tracks when It gets within view.

started her up and had a leisurely start down the road. sparse traffic. boy did it run great. smooth, silky bark on the loud pedal. blipping downshifts. what a pleasure to drive!

I drove into an empty parking lot. sun still making its way up the cool air. couldnt help but keep looking over my shoulder at the red-head while walking into the building.

what a morning! who needs espresso?

looking forward to the drive home....
