Totally agree re: the Boxster, but keep going on your 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Back when we had a Boxster—an early 2.5, and oddly before that a 2.7—I would sometimes go break my 914 out of storage for a drive. It didn't take long before I was wondering why I didn't drive the 914 a lot more often—the sounds, the smells, the simplicity, the fun. So much of what makes 356s and 911s special and fun, but with near-modern handling from a far more modern platform.

When I got back into the 986 to go home, it was "ahhhhhhhh—this car does everything better and is super fun too!" All the steering feel without the "white noise," beautiful damping and dynamics, fantastic brakes, better sounding engine (my 914 had a four back then), real HVAC, power top, heated seats, power windows, etc. etc.
