So far I have only had time to drive it 14 miles home from the dealer which brought the mileage up from 17 to 31.
My only issue is with those damn air bag stickers on the visors. I have removed them before from my previous Boxsters but, at a quick glance, it looks like it is more complicated to remove the visors on the 981? I am open to new methods or suggestions on solving this problem once again.

Congratulations, Jeff. Beautiful car. We seem to agree on colors - If I remember correctly, your previous Boxster was macademia metallic with sand beige interior, and I now have a Macademia and sand beige Carrera. Before that, I had a seal gray Carrera with stone gray interior. So, good choice of colors! Enjoy it to the fullest.

… just stunning.
You need to do two things:
Order the TechNOwind and get rid of the airbag stickers.
I do a few airbag sticker deletes per month.
1.- remove the visors
2.- if the stickers have any relief, clean with acetone until grain of vinyl can be seen
3.- paint using Duplicolor Interior Paint - Comes in multiple colors, but the standard black matches very well
4.- reinstall
Happy Boxstering,

on the mirror lid side but on the side you look at. As to the Boxster transitions I am not a mechanical guy except with my 1974 MGB, nor am I a racer, so my observations are probably not very meaningful to this board but here goes: I bought my first Boxster a 97 because I needed to replace the 944S2. My daughter was off to college and I no longer needed a back seat. The 97 was great except for when the top mechanism failed but Porsche covered the costs of the parts. I visited the plant in Stuttgart in 2002 and learned that glass rear windows were coming with defrosters. Yea!. The 2003 was a lemon with a vibration problem they could never find but it had a glass rear window. The 2008 was great until I was approaching the end of warranty and I started noticing symptoms. The 2012 brown Boxster was my favorite. No problems except for a broken shift lever cable. It had great curb appeal.
With every model change things get a little better in performance, style and electronics.
If I compare any of the Boxsters to our 1974 1974 MGB that I have been driving for the last month waiting on my 2016, they are all super cars.

Great websites and pictures, Jeff. You've certainly had your share of Porsches over the years and I'm sure you will love your new one.
I enjoyed your story about the '74' MGB; it must have been great fun--and hard work--to get it back back in running condition and worth the effort. My sports car ownership started with a used TR6 that I drove for for years, had great fun with and eventually led to us getting our first Boxster in '99'.
