Carvana just sent me an email telling me my 996 is worth $8K.

I'll keep it, thanks.

Aw I'm glad PeePee isn't with PeeWee. (Too soon?)

Seems like Carvana suddenly realized paying 20% over market value for used cars is not a sustainable business model and joined the "low-ball Boyz" down the auto mall.

Wow! I thought those ridiculously high used car prices were finally a thing of the past.

Could be worse - in Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks.

FWIW, there's a post on the Rennlist 997 group on bore scoring that's turned into a discussion of whether the Boxster is a woman's car. There are a bunch of uptight people there!!!! I remember when a group of you joined together to ridicule a jerk into oblivion years ago. Just thought I'd mention it ...

Heh. I used to wear a silk scarf when I drove my Boxster.

On a serious note, an AX instructor was dumbfounded after my absolutely miserable first "fast" lap in my '03 986. He made some remark about how PSM must have saved me - but my 986 only had ABS, no other driver aids. It was a hell of a car. He was blown away.

I think Cuda might have some opinions about the Boxster as well...

My only regret about buying my 996 is that I let the sales guy talk me into trading my 986. That Boxster was sublime.

Even for a chick car.
