Kevin & I are here in Oahu on vacation till 9/29. We have a timeshare here. Yes, we do belong to PCA-Loma Preita Region Zone 7 in the Bay Area/San Francisco. I would suggest joining your local PCA of Hawaii. Lots of activities, great people and of course the car, Porsche.
Just to let you know the Boxster Forum called Babblers is having a 2007 West Coast Boxsterfest in Tahoe this Oct 18-21st. We have some people from Canada, Washington, Oregon and Florida that are attending. And who knows where else. Maybe you would like to attend?

When I was shopping for my Boxster, I wasn't comparing it to other Porsches, I was comparing it to other sports cars in its class. Nothing came even close to the Boxster. You can not compare a 911 to a Boxster because it is in a completely different price range. For the price of around 50 grand, the Boxter is the best car, in its class, in the world. For 100 grand, the 911 is probably the best, but I won't champion that cause until I buy one. George[8D]

RE: How do you response to "Boxster owner is a poor man Porsche"
Hello:
I am new to this forum, live in CA and this is my first Porsche, a used '98 Boxster with 49900 on it. I bought it because my brother got a new 911 in late '06 and was so impressed with it, but didn't want to part with $79K just yet. So he steered me in the direction towards buying a Boxster, gently used if possible. I laugh about the "poor man" comments. I just spent close to $5k to make necessary repairs and bring it back to good operating condition. Even though I do feel poor after spending the bucks, I don't consider any Porsche a poor man's automobile. Besides, I have a convertible and have had nothing but fun so far. I have nothing to prove, not interested in racing anyone, just looking for pure motoring excitement and this Boxster delivers.

Thanks for this info, I will check the site. Appreciate the warm welcome and I am sure I will be returning. This is definitely the most "exotic" sports car I have owned and being used I am sure I will have questions when things go haywire. SFstevo

Poor man's 2008 987 Boxster S list is 64k. Fully optioned Boxster S is as much or more than a base 997. Yes it is the "entry level" Porsche, but I bought it because I like it better than the 997 not because it is cheaper.
