So what that looks like for most motorless boxster owners is a dusty car in the garage with flat-spotted tires that will probably be sold off for next to nothing = the end of Porsche ownership for a good long while, apologies to wives for pissing away thousands of retirement dollars and having nothing to show for it in tough economic times, and nothing fun to look forward to on sunny weekends.
that about sums me up exactly....

if/when my car goes - it is going to sit in the garage and my wife will never let me hear the end of it....
