I think I can safely say this about all aspects of this post: Very well done, sir.

Very nice.
Do you know what all options the Boxster has? My dad had a 2000 Boxster S for 170k miles. Great car, it had the 030 suspension, and it'd be my choice for highway travel and track days - but the rawness of the S2000 makes the Honda the more interesting autocross and surface-street car.

That is a wonderful story, and very nicely told. Speaking as a father myself, I'd say your dad raised a terrific son.

Great story and about on par for what I would expect on the differences between the two.

great intentions. just dont stick him with the repair bill that comes with owning german vs leasing.
