I had a '77 280Z, it was a lot of fun to drive. The styling of the car is still better than most of today's sports car, definitely better than the current Z. Too bad designers now can't design cars that last, styling-wise, except the Boxster and 911 :cheers:

Remember, entry level porsche designed to be used as a daily driver. I'm not knocking the boxster in any way, just the idea of having a beater. :chicken:

I look at cars like tools - different tools for different tasks. The Boxster S is a great daily driver, but occasionally I need to tow the boat (96 Bronco) or play in the rocks (94 Jeep - well, some parts are still 94 anyway). Different tasks - different tools.

Of course, when I'm teaching a class for the Forest Service, I've been known to suffer through taking the Boxster up Hwy 330...

I am looking for a Bandit Trans Am, does that count?

where are the grounding points I should clean on my boxster? are they listed in the manual?

It prints at 17" across so you may have to print it on two sheets.

The grounds are right here: http://www.theschillings.com/boxster/grounds-web.jpg

got it, printed fine. mine sat up during the previous owner (2001 bought with 13,000 miles). checking the grounds sounds wise. thanks!
