Just click on his "blue" username and the e-mail address should come up. You'll have to find one of his posts though.
#13 of 887 In Miami, by cubanaudi Apr 21, 2003 (7:16 pm)
they offered me a 2003 Boxster S DEMO (2950 miles) at $5000 off MSRP, before I even opened my mouth to start negotiating. But they really weren't budging from there. I still had a few months in my current lease, and I would have to roll 6 months of payments into this car. Lease payments would be too high. Residuals also were awful. 53% for 39 months. Pretty dismal for Miami.

Oh, you don't wanna be rollin' leases unless you are really, really good with the calculator. You can get lost so easily into a bad deal.
#15 of 887 First boxster thread I came across after reading ... by starrow68 May 05, 2003 (3:19 pm)
From C&D article on One Lap 2003:   "The elapsed time for the Civic's standing-start three-lap run — 7:02.570 — was more than a minute and a half slower than the time posted by the session's quickest (more on that in a minute), but it was nevertheless good enough to beat a pair of Porsche Boxsters, among others."       This was a hybrid, didn't get any more info, just found it 'interesting'

Yeah, well what do you want to drive around in, a Boxster or a hybrid Civic?   I could build any car to beat any car. Gimme money, gimme talent.

Can you drop the top on a sunny day in the Civic? Does it feel balanced or transmit the road through the steering wheel? Gimme a break with the ';o)'...I don't own a Boxster S, but I sure as heck know I'd rather own it than any Civic.   Besides, I'd like to verify this claim about the Hybrid. Hybrids per se tend to have tiny engines that compete for weight with the batteries.
#18 of 887 C&D last day of the one lap articles, didn't read them all by starrow68 May 14, 2003 (8:43 am)
One comment about Porsche except for the SUV, that is:   http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=4&article_- id=6665   Enjoy, seems the Corvette did good.
#19 of 887 M3 or boxster "S" by highender Jun 03, 2003 (7:49 pm)
I loved my red Boxster "S" , it had the looks and performance, could put the top down and could carry some items after shopping. I could not sell it by myself in the SF Chronicle, Diablo Dealer or craigslist. Asking $40K for 2000 with 9000 miles. Finally Camissa Motors took it on consignment and sold it in 3 days for full price(minus $2000 commision) Well worth it, but surprised that resale value was low. The hot cars are red or yellow 6spd manuals.
#20 of 887 M3 by highender Jun 03, 2003 (7:54 pm)
I sold the boxster because we are a family of 4 and could not all fit. If I were single no kids, I'd stay with Boxster. Now I prefer the M3 for the space , performance, value. But definitely try both before you pass judgment. A lot of people give opinions without really knowing anything about the subject.
