Default First time Porsche owner, Hello to all!

Aloha from Hawaii, I joint the forum a few months ago. I just purchased my first Porsche last night. (Jan 31, 2007) It is a used 3 months old Boxster S with only 400 miles on it. So, I can call it almost new. Anyway, looking forward to enjoy thegreat experience to drive this car. I am looking for a car over, my main goal is to block the fine dust. I have agarage where I parked my car at work (with only solid roof, no side wall, not enclosed) Since I work in a construction area, it is very dusty. There will be little water going on the car but a lot of fine dust. Any suggestion?
I also appreciate if you guys can refer me to any good site, link regarding Boxster. I like to surf the net and read. Thank you.
Tinchao

That's a fine looking Boxster you have there Tinchao! Only 400 miles on the clock? It must be like new! I hope you're gonna do a few more miles than that and use it for what it was built.....driving!

Have you posted any pic's in the gallery yet?

Good question.......
One of the reason is..... If I am going to spend somewhere in the 50 to 60k range, I like to have a sport car that can drop the top, living in Hawaii allow me to drop the top all year long. Some 911 has convertiable, but I don't think I will spendthat much money for a car. I want to buy one that is less than one year old or new. I know if I am willing to buy an older model 911, it may be cheaper or I should say close to my price range, but I don't want to buy aPorsche that is too old and I end up spending a lot of money to repair it. Another reason is the truck space, Boxster give you the most space out of all the convertiable, at least base on my research. I have consider SKL, the hard top is nice and my wife actually like that car. I did not choose SLK because once you drop the top, there is not much space left for "Shopping". I own a Benz already, therefore, having a SLK will most likely don't make me feel like I brought a new car, the interior is pretty much the same, the feel of the car is pretty mucn the same. I also cosider Z4, but I just don't like the look of the Z4 that much.
I have been watching the local classify for months, waiting for the right car, the right moment.... I am glad that I finally own one.
Driving a Porsche is like nothing else..... do you agree?
Is there a reason why I should not choose a Boxster, any suggestion, input is welcome. I can always change model down the road, after all, this is a car, not a wife. Ha Ha :-)
