congrats on the new toy....
From time to time I look at the newer Boxsters (or whatever they call them now). I have to say I am not happy with the "technology" in the cars.
One may call me a "moldy fig" in PPBB parlance, but i simply do not appreciate driving a computer. My wife's Volvo is a fine car. But I cannot figure out how to change the radio station or the heater settings or ..... Well you get the point. On a recent trip, I had to pull over and turn off all the "driver aids" because they nearly caused me to have an accident. I cannot use the backup camera or andoid auto. I viscerally despise a touch screen in a moving vehicle. you cannot do anything without taking your eyes off the road - which scares me to death.
I drove a new(ish) 911 last year. It completely convinced me that the 986 is the better car for me. I will not own a computer on wheels as my daily diver until I have not choice.One may call me a "moldy fig" in PPBB parlance, but i simply do not appreciate driving a computer.
