After almost 20 years - new to me Porsche

After almost 20 years I decided I needed another Porsche Convertible

2001

911 Cabriolet

Blue/tan

49000 miles

Don't have pic hosting site, but it looks like Kevin Hart's

Glad you see you back. Sounds like a nice car, but we need proof.

Here are picture sharing instructions: [pedrosboard.com]

Come now....you know what it looks like.

Congrats. You got the best color combo.

was it you who sold the boxster and got a nissan Z? did you have a mustang bullit for a while? or am i thinking of someone else?

in any case, congratulations. sounds like a nice car.

is kevin hart "kevin in ny" or something similar? haven't seen him around these parts for eons.

You’re thinking of Dennis in SE PA. He had the Boxster SE that had failed IMS and then moved to a Mustang and then a Cayman.

Yes, same Dennis in SE PA. He also had a 350Z I think in between.

You can do better than that.

There were Lapis Blue, Cobalt Blue, Dark Blue, and Midnight Blue for exterior blue colors.

And I think there was Savannah Beige and Sand beige for the interior.

So which is it?

I don’t think they offered Midnight Blue as a standard color in 01. My guess is that his is Ocean or Lapis blue with Savannah.

had an Anniversary Edition Boxster S '04. IMS failed. Nissan 350 Z followed then a Mustang Bullitt. Over 5 years ago I got back to Porsche with and '08 Cayman. Best car I ever owned even with 88K on it when purchased.

got it! i remembered the cars but mixed up the dennises.

Congrats and welcome back into the fold. The 911 is a much different animal than a Boxster. I had two Boxsters prior to jumping to a 2009 Carrera S Cab (Aqua Blue/Grey). After 11 years, still find it weird to have that open space behind the head/seat. Do miss that cozy Boxster feel. The 911, however, I find to be a much more solidly built vehicle than my 2002 S I traded it in for. That being said, in four years, as a retirement present to myself, might trade it for the new Boxster GTS 4.0, well probably a used one as they won't be making them by then. But if they are, Euro Delivery hear I come. Good thing I have four years to work on the wife about this plan.

I've owned two 911's, a 1973 Targa and a 2013 base. They both gave the impression of being built stronger than a Boxster or Cayman, both I don't believe they are.

What they are, IMO, is heavier, with a more muted engine and additional soundproofing.

As for Dennis1 and Dennis2; they just like to confuse us.

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

The other Dennis lives near me. He had the z car and the bullit. I had the Shelby and the nsx.

And now the other Dennis has a Cayman, along with a picture to prove it.
