I'm starting to see more Porsches in general go through the auction. It used to be that it was only a couple of Porsches per year. Now, there are typically 2 to 6 Porsches per week, Cayennes and Boxsters being the most prevalent. Starting to see Pannies show up with some regularity - probably one or two per month.

Thanks, I've considered grabbing one and keeping it street legal to take to the plethora of 1 day track events I do; something to drive to and from and have some fun with to simplify my track schedule. That $3300 125K mile one would be perfect, throw some new street tires and brakes on it and have a pleasant day.

"Boxta Dave" doesn't quite have the same ring as "Miata Dave" though.

Why not? He has already raced the ultra rare Boxster M.
