Boxing day is not a celebration of Rocky Marciano…no…not quite. Boxing day is the second day of Christmastide and was traditionally a day when poor people where given gifts, but it is now been co-oped by big business as a shopping day where poor people give their money to rich people for cheap trinkets. At […]
Ten thousand dollars doesn’t get you much in Guard’s Red with the Porsche crest on the hood and an S badge on the trunk…but if you choose carefully you might be able to get something with fairly low miles and a 6-speed manual box. Did I mention it handles well too? Find this 2002 Porsche Boxster […]
The first generation Boxster was Porsche’s first road-going mid engine car since the 914 and as such was bestowed with fantastic handling, grip, steering, controls; truly a sublime car to drive with gusto, particularly in the faster “S” trim. This next example takes the excellent chassis and shoves an all-alloy ‘Murican V8 behind the rear […]

While I’m not a fan of convertibles as my DD, a ‘vert might work here. I’ve looked at Alfa Spiders and of course there’s the Miata. Currently my thinking is Miata […]
Yesterday’s Porsche 968 bidding for around $15k prompted a few commenters to point out that you can get some newer/nicer/faster/less-pricky cars for that same amount of money. The Porsche Boxster S is one that springs to mind, you are getting a car that is 10 years newer, faster, better balance, and more cylinders…so why do […]
The Porsche Boxster first launched in 1997 and brought open air mid engine Porsche flat six sounds to the working class…but it had Volkswagen acceleration and it wasn’t until model year 2000 and the introduction of the “S” model (German for shhhporteee) that you could get one with a decent amount of horsepower and a […]
