Hello All,

I've purchased my first Porsche and came across Carpokes! via the Panorama ad. I picked up a 2017 718 Base w/manual transmission, PASM, Sport Chrono. I absolutely love the car and it's great to be driving a manual again after years with family SUVs/autos. This forum has already been a wealth of information. Happy to be here!

Congrats from another new 718 owner ( picked my Cayman up in late August ) and you will find your Boxster one of the most enjoyable machines you have ever owned. There is a tactile joy between man and machine that is apparent with the Boxster/Caymans that bring back the full flavor of a vehicle that engages a driver. In your case it will bring new meaning to going topless, ha!

I'm in First Settlers Region - hopefully heading to my first meet up next weekend. I picked up the Boxster earlier this month after searching all summer.

I spent all summer looking with the hopes of having some good times on Appalachian roads in the fall. This spring/fall will be the year!
