2011 porsche boxster spyder, (red with black interior)

I had a 2010 (boxster spyder) which I loved more but it was parked in a multi-level high rise carpark in central city on the february 22nd earthquake and was a casualty when the park got pulled down with most of the cars inside.

This one i've had a bad run with, had engine issues a week after purchase (which were all very efficiently covered under warranty, though i did have to use a loan car for 3 weeks of my 1st month of ownership of this car, doesnt really give the 'new car' buzz) and then about 6 weeks after getting it back I hit a very oddly placed power pole when backing out of my driveway & damaged the front right panel.

I know many say porsches are overpriced & underpowered, but I just like the boxsters because they are cute, dont really give a hoot about specs so much. Plus its still fast enough for me to get speeding tickets (which is also annoying, i'm sure the police target the car based on colour/look!)

people who say that don't understand what porsche is about. it's not a car for people who like to drive a skyline which costs half the price but still accelrates faster or a muscle car which costs half the price but hast 3x more power.

and i don't say that because i' german, in gemany some say that as well and i don't get why they don't get that this isn't the aim of porsche. they could build a 911 with 2x as much power very easily but that's not what they are going for with a "standard" porsche.

A skyline, you say...
