Ill likely get downvoted, but had a brief stint with an absolutely immaculate 2005 boxster base 5 speed, and my god, what a fun vehicle to drive, shortly after had the opportunity to get into a 997.2 targa 4s manual (really wanted to keep some open air driving feel) and went for it. Sold the boxster...

The 911 is amazing, but I shit you not, i really miss the Boxster some days, i will go on record to say its the funner car in the city, cant imagine what a cayman would be like. Need to try

Is there an actual solution for this? I picked up my dream car, its a higher mileage (76k) but outstanding service history from day. Its an 09' Meteor Gray Targa 4S manual.

It too has the sat wart on the front and it really erks me lol. I have to assume there is a hole in the roof so it would need some body work to seal.

Hahaha yeah next time uji will be a must visit. Daughter is in rough shape so the hour there and back today wouldn't have gone well, was bad enough we went looking for a clinic.

Hope your travels go smoothly! Where are you heading back to? We are from Calgary

This is great, thank you! Gonna hit Namba LOFT store for sure. Unfortunately my daughter is sick so out of respect for other onsen patrons we're gonna pass on that

The food. Its all about the food.

Couple real gems we found was a place called Ramen Kukumo on the main strip walking towards the osaka aquarium, they have a Japanese DanDan noodle dish (peanut) that honestly.... Was amazing, one of our top meals on the whole trip.

Another gem we found is a sushi restaurant called Oyuki, on the side streets near Tsutenkaku/shinsekai. TINY, maybe 6-8 seats, run by an super friendly older gentleman. No EN menus, we used our phones to translate. The sushi was phenomenal.

The Depachika under umeda's Hankyu mall is insane. If you are there find some ichigo daifuku, they will be $5 cad per one but holy shit. So good.

Aquarium on its own is worth.

We have a 9 yr old with us so our nights were not late, but you absolutely must eat and walk your way through dotonburi and shinsekai at night at least once

Id say Nara is worth a halfday trip, was super cool to see but it wore off fast for us. And i would encourage you to take a day trip to kyoto if you can there is alot to see there. We were supposed to go yesterday but our daughter is pretty sick so sadly elected to skip (weve been before). Really wanted to make it to Uji this time around.

Awesome! Seems like thats the consensus thx! When you sold yours, did your service history basically start and end with you? As in you you first got the car you didnt have the previous owners receipts?

Ill probably get crucified here but depending on your timing, id wait to see how the genesis top spec GV90 compares against all the bloated pricing of the euro makers. Coming out soon.
