Ah, the dichotomy of the Porsche optional extras list - configuring your Zuffenhausen machine can be a blessing, since you can select between tons and tons of options. On the other hand, this kind of came might also be a curse, since it can turn into a financial black hole. We've talked about such matters in our Porsche reviews and now a Porsche-owning YouTuber is here to help you navigate your way through the 718 Boxster/718 Cayman configurator.
We're referring to Nick Murray, a Zuffenhausen aficionado who has previously owned a 991.1 Neunelfer and now spends his time behind the wheel of a 991.2 Carrera 4S.

In his typical Porsche clip, the vlogger takes the time to focus on all sorts of aspects of living with a Porsche crest bearer and this time around things get even deeper.

As such, this configurator guide will shed some light on the real-life aspects of the 718 Boxster/718 Cayman configurator details. And while this is obviously a subjective tale, we tend to agree with many of the points made here.

In fact, there are two guidelines Nick drops in the video that can't be stressed enough. The first has to do with not going above 20 percent of the base vehicle cost when speccing it.

As for the second, this involves taking advice from a female friend when configuring the car. And while the vlogger only links this to the cabin spec, we suggest going for a full-car discussion.

We'll use a 911 GT3 discussion to illustrate our point - if you do as advised, when, say, choosing between the "standard" GT3 and the Touring Package, you'll notice that not too many girls appreciate the massive wing of the first and this might just make you ask yourself whether you actually put all that downforce to use or simply want the wing for boy racer dreams.

Now, even if you don't happen to be in the market for a 718 Cayman/718 Boxster, you may want to pay attention to the one-hour clip below, since configuring a Porsche can work as a pretty strong motivational tale.
