To the driveway that is! Angelina is no longer the garage queen now that a new tenant has moved in.

The wife finally got the convertible she's been wanting, her 2011 Porsche Boxster S! It was between that and the SLK 350. She really wanted a hardtop convertible with the manual trans but Benz wasn't offering it in a stick just paddle shifters. So she settled, yeah I know pity pity lol! Plus coming from an RX8 it had to handle like it was on rails which I must say her RX8 did. It just needed the power boost that the Boxster S and Benz offer.

Yes we like the color BLUE!

 

I would definitely boot mine to the driveway as well for the Boxster! That car has come sooooo far in since its debut Next car for us will also be Euro.

I don't think she settled at all...settling would have been going for the Benz, IMHO. The SLK design is long in the tooth, not worth it unless you're getting the SLK 55, and the overall feel is an older woman's car for those not really interested in the driving experience. Just my take! She definitely made the right choice.

And talk about an upgrade from the RX8. I know the engine is unique and suspension is great, but it sure gets atrocious gas mileage and power numbers.

 

When momma is happy, everybody is happy!!

 

so much win it hurts!!! so the Boxter is a 6 speed manual? and how much was she?

 

not me. The Boxter would go outside..

 

I thought the title was your selling again. wait, you're leaving your car outside in the harsh icy snowy rainy leafy salty Northeast. I like the Boxter much more than the current SLK.

 

Hope you got that from Ray Catena in Edison NJ...

 

The RX was fun to drive but like you said the gas mileage was horrible and the power was not there either.
As for the SLK it would have been a AMG but again no stick shift, just paddleshifters. It had to be stick or she wasn't having it. Tomorrow we get the clear bra put on, something I wish I would have done to my stang when I first bought her. Hind sight 20/20 as they say. Thanks!

AMEN, sounds like experience talking! lol

Yep 6 speed manual, all our cars are stick. She actually taught me right before I bought Angelina! Even the xa is stick, which with only 103hp (34mpg) it needs it to get up and go especially on the highways! I think the finally price was a little over 69K, one thing about a Porsche we found out is that everything is an option. These cars have so many options it's ridiculous. This was a build so she picked out everything the way she wanted it.

She just told me I would be outside before the boxster, lol

Hey Rich, I never sold my Mustang or even attempted to. Hell after the last accident I wouldn't even get what she is worth so it wouldn't be worth it at all plus I still love this car!

Absolutely! Very nice people to deal with, Juno was a pleasure to work with.

 

You did the right thing because the Boxter can't take the weather like the Mustang can.

 

Sounds like an excuse to build that Dream Garage, with the flat screen and wet bar at the back

 

She's pretty

 

Porsche'...there is no substitute (including the repair bills)

Seriously, good luck with it.

 

Looks like you need a bigger garage.....

 

+1 I like the way you took this thread!

 

I had to boot the 02 Harley F 150 to the drive when I got this..............

 

Joyce says, "Thanks for the nice comments and SWEET Z4 Tac!"

 

I like the mustang better :P

 

So's the car!

Congratulations on the upgrade! That's an impressive stable you have there, definitely time for the garage to house them all!

 

Shhh... you and me both!

Having to park outside already SUCKS!

 

Holy smokes I just laughed out loud at those snowy driveway pix..... jeez louize that sucks.
