2005 Boxster 987. Page 14 says "Do not exceed maximum engine speed of 4,200 rpm.

I bought the car I took a test drive in because it was the right colour and options and $10,000 off.

The salesman beat the $h!t out of it on a test drive and then encouraged me to do the same. It was sold as new with 172 miles on it. I'm sure now every one was hard.

The car drinks oil like a pig: half a quart of synthetic in 300 miles--are you ************************ kidding me? My eleven year old Ford exploder with 165,000 miles on it doesn't drink nary a drop!

I asked about break in and he told me not to run it to redline too often in the first 1,000 miles. Naturally I drove it like ......................... for a couple hundred miles and THEN read the book myself.

Good grief. :ah:
