Gosh, Roger. That's devastating news. I'm so sorry to hear what happened. I still remember your excitement before you even went to pick it up, wondering about the luggage space. Then sharing your joy of driving it home from Atlanta. All the little (and big) things you did with the car that made it even more special, to make it your own, one of a kind Boxster. There was that gorgeous GT Silver paint. I'm just at a loss for words.
I know that you'll be able to find another fabulous Boxster. At the same time, I know that this one will always have a special place in your heart.
Here's to better times. Celebrating what only a real driver and his Boxster enjoy sharing.

... it seems like this past week has not been a good one for Boxsters.
Last Sunday and this afternoon I had to make a lowball offer on two (other-than-the-IMS perfectly good Boxsters.
Both of the owners were devastated and both had taken very good care of their cars.
The first one was set to come in for a DOF install next week.
Good luck hunting for your new ride.
All the the best.
Hopefully you will soon be Happy Boxstering

I hope all that insurance stuff works out for you. As you stated , your sure did do lots of enhancements to make your 987 very special.
Best of luck!

Your story is horrendous ..... the feelings are very understandable. No one, but us, can truly understand the feelings of loss for our revered cars.
When I was informed my car was totaled, I was devastated. I pleaded with the insurance company to no avail. No one could understand the tears. There were so many fond memories with my car. The after market mods with many people from the board. Even group car washes were fun, not to mention the drives. No drinking until after the event. I thought time would heal, but the loss is still hurtful, even with my new 981. Something about the attachment to an inanimate object may not be considered "normal", but it was a part of my life. A life which brought many friends and enjoyable times. And, I could trust the car in any situation, something that can be difficult to find. ..... A new car is fun and great, but it can't replace a loss.
It'll get easier but it may take awhile. The fond memories are there, hold on to them and the friends here on the board.

Thanks, Joanne.
My Boxster and I had so many wonderful trips - the first trip home from GA, two trips to BRBS (over 3,000 miles each trip), last May down to Virginia, trips to Ontario. The car performed flawlessly always.
And countless hours maintaining/improving the car - all with my own hands. From oil and fluid changes, to wheels, spacers, steering wheel, brakes, literally from the very front to the very back - lights to tailpipes. I have over $1k of new parts in the basement, waiting to be installed as preventative maintenance and regular maintenance. Working on the car built an even deeper connection.
It's interesting to hear you say that a new car, even a 981, can't replace the loss. That's how I feel. (And I've yet to see one equipped as mine was, from the factory, let alone all the mod's I did.)
