What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Then it rained for two days

Drove it to work. It's going to be 70+ degrees and sunny for the ride home:dance:! I guess I'll have to take the long way home through the curvey, winding hills of Southern Indiana

I raced some really annoying guy in a blacked-out Audi. He started pacing me, then following, then came up alongside with clear road in front of us.

What can a girl do except floor it? PDK downshifted from 5th to 2nd and flew off, close to 90.

He valiantly tried to keep up, but traffic was getting heavy so I got behind another car and finally let him pass.

Seriously, what was the thought there, dude?

Owned.

Picked up my dad at Phila airport with the top down. Pulled up to the curb right in front of him. He looked down at my little sports car. Looked at the box like - who is this A-H in the Porsche. When I got out to help with his bags, it registered, this is his son's car. Then the big P-car grin came to his face.
- I had never told him I had gotten a Boxster

He had that P-car grin all the way home

Pulled into the driveway, he was suddenly sad - "I just want to sit it some more" as I put the top up.
Now he knows how I feel when the drive is over

Open house at the P car dealer for the local PCA chapter on Sunday. Drove up with the top down in the freezing cold. Looked at the new Boxsters and the new Cayman. It was a mistake.

Zip-tied my clutch safety switch after the new replacement had the same non-starting issues as the old one. It appears that zip-tying it did the trick. I think that there are times that the physical action of the clutch causes the switch not to close on older cars, but tying it does the trick:-)).

Unwrapped it (yesterday) from storage. Woohoo!!!! Hoping it doesn't snow Thursday as forecast.

did the broke boxster soft top mod as they are out of SmartTop relays.

also started going over a few items after talking with a few Porsche Crews from the Long Beach Gran Prix.

Put away in the garage for three weeks. Waiting for my flight to Germany.

Replaced the passenger side radiator fan. Not too difficult. I took my time and worked on another vehicle as well and made a day of it. It rained all weekend anyway so it was time well spent.

[steved0x]

Changed the passenger side brake light bulb. Was pretty easy to get to I didn't change the other side though... I will keep an eye on it

I took my winter wheels off (turbo twists) and decided to give them a touch up respray.
While working them over I thought i'd try something a little different and taped off and sprayed the center crest caps with green accent to match the car.

changed old parking bulbs to LEDs and added side-emitting LED strips to headlights:

Although pretty, the white stuff doesn't help get the box out of its cage though.

Seriously, snow?!

It's in the 80's here already. Too hot for the top down.

Gorgeous pic, though.

DK, you must be in Northern WI, still trapped in snow cover. Milwaukee area has been free of snow's grip for about 3 weeks, but this past week was the first time temps rose above 40. Was able to drive a bit last Saturday, Monday and Wed.

This weekend we should be in the 50s or higher. Ready to daily drive it once again. Depending on your location, you're probably only 1-2 weeks behind.

PM me if you want to share (or vent) about Boxster life in WI.

I replaced the fuel pump and sending unit. So far so good, fingers crossed!

I wish I had been kidding about the snow. On the bright side, It hit 70 yesterday and is looking good today. Top-down weather ahead! :dance:
