OT: Porsche Boxster, Anyone have one? Love it? Hate it? Options

[Andyrew]

Well its been way to long since i've driven or even thought about my 914, so i've come to the realization that I need something a little more roadworthy. (I am just too busy to drive my car to events whenever I want to have fun..)
I've been considering finishing up the 914, selling it, and getting a Boxster for fun times instead. I'd really like to be able to drive it every day and rely on it as a second car, not a track ready race/street car as the 914 is.

Im considering a 2.7 Boxster, 00, 01. I would love to have an S though, the extra power and handling would be nice. Does anyone own any? Anyone modify them? What should I look out for? What about driving impressions? Need more HP? How easy is it to toss it around? Powerslide? I will most likely use it as my racer/ autoxer, so it will see slicks and some modifications, but will remain relatively stock (No v8 swaps here....

Anyways, what are your thoughts? I guess driving around my Audi for the past almost year has changed my priority's..

One last thing, will my 5'1" girlfriend(of 2.5years..) be able to drive it? I want her to be able to autox with me, and she cant drive the 914 with the way its setup..

I appreciate your help,
Sorry I havent been around lately I have a world of excuses, but primarily its been a lack of interest in my 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
