Great addition to your fleet Eugene. In driving schools they have become my favorite, because they are so easy to drive. Not the fastest car by any means, but probably the best at providing feedback to the driver. Just plain FUN!

Knowing what I know today, I probably would have bought one of these over the turbo.

my plan is to build for the upcoming SuperSpec Boxster criteria along with NASA GTS2/3. I don't anticipate actually racing in the series but if I build the car to be amenable to those venues then it makes it alot more attractive to buyers if I decide to sell later.

I am guessing he

1)bought it and hid it from his wife
2)forgot he owned it
3)found it again and drove it
4)told his wife it was someone elses
5)sold it
6)bought it back
7)hid it again

existing structure is 36' wide and 20' deep. I am expanding it to 36' wide and 45' deep. Should be able to hold a couple more cars and a 2 post lift
