What I was refering to was the dashboard indicator. In the last 6 months, The oil level would drop every month and in between changes. The car never did that before. So I was trying to make it a habbit to check the oil before my hour long fun drive to work.

That morning the indicator was reading in the middle. I like to have it at the top of the electronic indicator. I did not have oil to put in to it so I was planning on getting a quart or two on the way home. Well on the way home is when the car died.

The loss of the car is on me. I should have kept it filled to the top. I really dont care that it is gone. Its just a car. Over the 9 years of ownership the box was expensive to keep happy. Small parts would break all the time. Maintance was getting more expensive and regular. I have replaced all sorts of small things from fan motors, control arms, plastic latches, sun visors, plastic windows, convertible top, bushings, bearings, window regulators, seats, buttons, switches, relays, AOS, radio, speakers (paper speakers? really on a porsche?) I just expected more than 85K from a car I spent 57,000$ for.
I would buy another one as soon as they increase the quality. Because at the end of the day, I was smiling when I got home after a drive.
