My story is that I fell in love with Brian’s car. He loved driving his car and I loved riding in it!
I had been driving a minivan for years. I guess it is a phase in our lives that all responsible parents must go through. But now, with a taste of convertible sports car driving, I was ready for a change. I wanted something small and fun.
Suddenly, it dawned on me; I wanted “my” something small and fun to specifically be a Boxster just like Brian’s. It’s not every day you ask your spouse about having two of the same car. I jokingly brought up the idea, and much to my surprise, he agreed! It made no sense for us to be a two Boxster family and it would be completely irresponsible... so we did it anyway! The decision was very unlike us, but I’m so glad we made it!
My search was on. I was specific about “my” ideal Porsche. I wanted a white Boxster and I wanted an automatic. I needed to be able to talk on the phone and eat french fries at the same time. I didn’t want a garage queen. I wanted to drive it. Everyday.
Much to my surprise, I found just what I was looking for on Cars.com. It was even at the right price. As luck would have it, the car was located in Springfield, MO. I couldn’t believe I had found “my” car so close to home.
Oddly enough, I was leaving for a girl’s trip to Hawaii when I found it.
