Oh no, it's a pure pleasure driving, especially on mountain passes. It's the constant worry when I'm getting behind the wheel wondering "is it going to break down" that really irks me. That kind of feeling is not something I want from my car. This thread has reassured me that there will be light somewhere at the end of this tunnel.

fix it, drive it..... very few drivers report getting stranded. all repairs youve mentioned are common wear items. Ask me about the repairs on my boat, 2 minibikes, camper, ford expedition 03, LAWN , 2000 silverado 2500 and the list goes on. It seems to me that everything I,ve done is layed out in b and w on this forum. MY INDY CONTINUALLY TELLS ME TO DRIVE THE CAR!!!! My pelican parts friend tells me I could spend alot of money trying to make it bullet proof, as well as wasting alot of time stressing on the car and not enjoying it. Soooooo I quit stressing and started driving. I think your about at the end of the tunnel....sorry about the a.c. Trust me, I know first hand what your going thru. My 02 s is my daily driver and I am so glad I hung in there because I CANT THINK OF ONE TIME I'VE BEEN GLAD TO GET TO MY DESTINATION..... Speaking of operating costs did I mention my 10, 9 and 7 year old ?

"Ask me about the repairs on my boat"

Ha,Ha. boy did that strike a nerve.
Owning boats from 30 feet to 120 feet - I know you run 'm and you fix'm - constantly.
Then when you've had enough of that buy a "classic car" - "get out and get under" does that sound familiar ?

If you want to drive a throughbred be prepared - having said that I find the Boxster very reliable ( but look at my history )

If your really stressed about the car do what I did get a neuralyzer.

No worries mate.
