968 is a fabulous car. Have to agree.

I'd actually have a hard time deciding between a 968 Turbo S and a 993 given the choice. . .

Not bashing the Boxster (I'll probably pick one up eventually). It's a fine car. When I drove it, it brought that "P-car smile" to my face and I greatly enjoyed it. But when I drove the 911SC I was just like "day-UMM! I gotta' get me one of these!" That's the difference. The experiential quality of the 911 is unbeatable. Raw and mean. Just how I like it. The Boxster has too much "foo-foo" electronics crap in it for my personal taste, but (obviously) it IS newer. . . All in what you like I guess. I just prefer older, raw, manual, even carburated to new, digital this-and-that, touch screens and buttons all over the place.

The Boxster I test-drove was an '03 "S" for which the dealer was asking $40k. I loved it, but thought it was wickedly overpriced for that, considering I could get probably two early 911s (nice ones) for that same coin. Or a 968 and a 911. Or a 911 and a 928. Take your pick.
