Southwest Washington state to BC Canada
&00 miles round trip in my first real round-trip this year.
No issues, 2000 S, great car. This was too expectations as I have always keep her "good to go" over my 19 years/90K ownership.
The only comment from the trip is "I did not see a single 986 on the entire trip"
David.

Had a little fun with a Dodge Charger in the Sierra foothills. We were held up by slower vehicles for a distance, then able to cut loose with no one around for about twenty miles. He was right on me, until we hit tight turns, where I would lose him. Then he would fly up, because I kept it under 95 on the straighter sections, only to lose him again in the turns. He finally passed me when I caught up to slower traffic and he ignored the double yellow.
The wife just looked at me and said, "Well that made the drive worthwhile, didn't it?" I guess the smile that wouldn't go away made her think I was having a good time.

Changed the oil, installed new lithium ion battery, and fired her up for the first time this year. She roared to life and after she warmed up we screamed all the way to redline several times. I love this damn car.
As an aside, I've got a lifter tick (I think). I'll put a stethoscope on her but I think it's bank 1, likely cylinder 1 or 2. I order a bottle of liquid moly lifter additive, maybe ill get lucky lol
Here's a pic of the battery I installed. It's a motorcycle battery that I got in Amazon. It weighs nothing, is rated to 480cca, and it turned over the car with zero hesitation (that's with radio and subwoofer on). I've still gotta rig up a retainer for it but that a bungee cord should work just fine 
Last but not least I learned something new today. Positive battery terminals are wider than negative terminals! I found this out when I installed the posts on the battery and had a significant size discrepancy on the ground side. Lessons hard learned....

Added a blue tooth receiver, hooked it in to the RCA out puts on the CD changer and wired directly to keyed 12 volt. Also changed out the hood struts

Finally got my lift posts anchored again and changed out the fuel filter. It was the original filter made in in June of 99.

Spring finally arrived up here in the Great White North so I took the Boxster out of hibernation. I adjusted the tire pressure, checked the oil level and cranked her up. Slight puff of blue and the car fired right up. It soon settled into a nice steady idle. I’ve done this routine every spring for 9 years with the same great results.
As an aside, my car is up for sale and can be found on the PCA mart if anyone is interested.

Moved my Pioneer double-din from my van to the Boxster and taped up the vent flaps (thanks @TTGator for the video assistance!) while I was in there. I also swapped the winter tires for the summer tires now that it's going to be consistently warmer here in PA. And now I'm contemplating my move to the Portsmouth NH area this summer and what that's going to be like with the car. Hmmm, maybe I should look to get a hardtop...

All this past week for the new to me 04 s in lapis blue:
Replaced the missing grommet on the fuel door actuator pin, now it locks.
Detailed my Boxster with two stages of polish followed by a ceramic coating.
Changed the oil with 0-40, but couldn’t get filter off because had the incorrect filter cap…ugh.
Changing front brake pads and rotors this week with power stop evo.
Pretty busy as you can tell.
Michelin AS4s going on this week to.

I clay barred, compounded, polished and waxed her, she looks pretty fantastic for a 24 year old car!
This past weekend I replaced the front sway bar bushings in attempt to silence an annoying chatter. It seems to have solved the problem.
