[Wayne 962]

I've got two Boxsters and a 996 that I bought for doing the books. I still like the Boxsters over the 996. I think the Boxster is more similar to the older cars than the 996. With the top down, mid-engined layout - it's the younger edition of the 914.

With respect to the motors, these will be rebuilt in the future after Porsche stops providing crate motors (like the 3.4 I bought for $6K). When the supply dries up, the aftermarket will take over. Right now, parts aren't available because there's no demand for them. I have had this discussion with my supplier many times on this topic.
