Why do you love your Porsche and why did you pick Porsche over other brands?
In Massachusetts we had a 1987 911 which we sold before moving to Florida in preparation for a convertible. The local dealership could not help us so we scoured the country for the car we wanted. We found the GTS in Cincinnati and flew up to take delivery. Broke the car in per directions at the recommended RPMs whilst driving through horse country and the mountains with stops at The Biltmore and Savannah. The Boxster was a compromise car between my husband and myself. I wanted a Maserati however when the top was open there was no room in the trunk! Due to the Boxster being a mid-engine car we not only have a trunk but a frunk as well. Going away with luggage is a breeze.
