go ricer or not, looking at a new daily driver Options

[d914]

Ok clearing out the stable and getting new, "used" , cars for the driveway..

Know a local dealership so "borrowed" a couple of cars for the weekend..

'03 miata BTDT nice but no HP

'03 S2000.....now that was fun... high reving, good street handling, cabin a bit small but I'm 5'8'' so no issues.. vtech kicks in around 6000 rpm, rumor has it , and 90 at 9000 in 3rd... rumor has it!!?? push button start and electric top.....

or

Boxster 2.7... drove one while ago with a tip, nice car, larger, more truck room, more cabin space, handled great..

So questions who has one of the above. What are the gotcha's on the boxster, maintaince costs??? to be driven only 10-15k per year.

A friend of mine has a 308. (Hmm, I think Wayne might also have one!) The annual maintenance on the car is supposed to be "only" $1000. The car rarely makes it out of the shop for less than $10K. That's per year. Every year. And it doesn't get driven that many miles...

One fellow Pelican's take on Wayne's Italian car was, "That thing is a bigger POS than your 914, Dave!!"

It's tough to go wrong with a modern Japanese car as a "starts every day" daily driver. Sounds like you want more fun than that, though. So I'd seriously consider the Boxster.
