...keeping secrets is what keeps businesses going. If every business shared everything " on their how to process" they wouldn't be in existence very long. Look what happened to Kellogg and why they had to shut down their plant tours...people where stealing industry secrets.

In the age of digital communications and the instant satisfaction of "I want what I want and I want it now" mentality", forum like this unfortunately have become a battle ground when companies "create a solution to a plaguing problem.

There use to be a time when people had to think through problems and figure out solutions...now most just click a mouse and "Poof" your answer is in front of you. Jake has spent considerable time and energy developing a solution...and he did NOT do it by clicking on a mouse and asking someone to give him the answer. In developing this solution Jake has created a business, and that business has workers who have families and are supported by this process. Should he just fire his staff, close his doors and give his technology away? Short answer...No.

It is websites like this and the sponsors who keep it running and the forum members benefit and derive great insight and how to knowledge from them.

Yes Porsche is a great product and they have invested billions into making their product what it is. But with that said, all products suffer issues (some serious, some not so) and Porsche is no different.

The Boxster is a two seat not very practical car that is built for driving enjoyment but fills the bill for many as a daily driver. If you are not able to purchase the car new and obtain a warranty to cover repairs and your not very handy at repairs...your going to need someone who is able to do the work. Just like Jake...should they just give you their time and effort for free? I think not.

For all those that feel things cost to much or are not shared openly enough, try this...sit down and read the service manual and research the problem and come up with your own solution and feel free to do with it what you want.
