Downgrade?
It was probably worth it to upgrade from the Boxster headlights and interior!

OK, I just drove my car to make sure. He's right, the S is a much better car than your old TT's in every respect. I'm going to pay for this. You out there Evan?

My thoughts exactly. I can't understand how you go from looking at Gallardo's to trading a........ oh nevermind.

Congratulations on the new car. As for the 997 S being faster on the Nurburgring, well, I don't know about that. I know that on our Bahrain GrandPrix curcuit, my turbo S was faster than a 997 S driven by someone who has a bit more racing wexperience then yours truely. The two-wheel drive feels lighter and better but you can always count on the power of the turbo to make an avarage driver better than a semi-pro. It evens the odds and sometimes, it makes them in your favor. Again congratulations, the 997 S is a wonderful car in its own right.

Hi I just traded my 997 for a Boxster S and man I'm happy. The Boxster S handles so much better. And it beat the 997 on the Ring!

Sorry couldn't help it :P

Wait till you trade your Boxster S for a 16k spec miata. It'll blow anything away on a tight course track

How low can we go?
