New Sport Two Seater Reviews 2011

New Sport Two Seater Reviews 2011 - The Boxster Spyder is an amazingly hot roadster. It is a Boxster with styling that screams Porsche, and with added flare to it.

Remember the very handsome James Dean? How could we forget? The legendary bad boy and ‘Little Bastard’ was killed in a car crash driving a Boxster Spyder 550.

Times have changed, and this Sypder has just gotten better.

I am not the type to judge a book by its cover. Because this iconic car is handsome to look at, starts at just under $73,000 which is a few thousand dollars more than the Boxster S, I am expecting more from this car.

This two-seater is the featherweight member of the Porsche line up, weighing in at just 1,275kgs. The Spyder is 80 kg lighter than the Boxster S.

The doors are aluminum and the 19-inch wheels are the lightest that Porsche makes.

The biggest cut in weight has come from removing the fully powered, twenty-one kilogram retractable softtop from the Boxster S and replacing it with a very light canvas style roof. It weighs just seven kilograms!

Porsche sent me a YouTube video on how to put the top up and down, and it had me a bit worried. It took about five minutes for the pros to do it and I managed in about the same amount of time.

It’s not as complicated as it looks, but it is a heck of a lot more complex than just pushing a button. Once you unlatch some of the pieces, you have to fold it up in two sections and do your best to tuck it away so you can close the trunk. Keep in mind that the retractable roof on the Boxster goes up and down in twelve seconds.

I think it is a crime to drive with the top up on any convertible. And Porsche agrees with me saying: “The new member of the Boxster family was developed first and foremost for driving in the open air".

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer.
