Back in a Porsche!!!
I picked up my Boxster today. If you missed my other threads, it's #99 of 1960 of the 2008 Boxster RS60 Spyder with only 21k miles. GT Silver paint, Carrera Red full leather interior, Boxster S, PASM, Sport Chrono, sport exhaust, sport seats, climate control, optional hardtop, litronic headlights, 19" Sport Design wheels, Sport Design front lip spoiler, full red taillights. It's very nice. I love how the PASM and sport exhaust allow me to drive with the missus in comfort or crank up the fun and volume when I want or when she's not in the car. It has plenty of torque for driving sedately or is a bunch of fun to flog. It's a Porsche certified preowned car so i've got 2 years of warranty.
we made the 4 hour drive back from Dallas mostly with the cruise on. The missus mostly slept for the trip. We were up late and got up early for the flight.
The only small glitch is that today about halfway back, my wife changed positions and noticed that the back edges of here jeans were wet. The passenger's side floor board was soaking wet. I hadn't noticed during our test drive earlier. I figure it's either due to the AC drain being clogged and the water running into the passenger's footwell or the water was in the footwell under the seat and due to my driving and moving around it had redistributed to the front. The sales guy did mention that they had a bunch of rain which is why several of the traffic lights around the dealer were out today.
I'm glad I've got the warranty. I'll be taking it to the dealer tomorrow so they can dry the carpets out and figure out where the water is coming from. It sucks to pick it up and then have to drop it off again. I'm sure it'll end up taking a week to sort out.
Ugh!
