Perfect weekend for top down driving. Went up on the Mosel River for a Wine Festival. Here's a pic from the drive back home:

Impressive speed! Did mundane stuff as in putting all loose tools in the front trunk where they are supposed to be (attached to the spare tire) in an effort to minimize rattles. Is my 2001 Box loosening up or is it just poor housekeeping? Test drive needed!

Friday drove from Burbank up to Paso Robles - took I-5 up over the Grapevine, then took local road 166 - 33 - 58 (with a small excursion on 229).
After Paso drove over to Cambria then down PCH to SLO then back to Burbank on 101.
Saturday was wash and wax day.

I turned mine on, warmed her up, revved her a little, then shut her down.

How did you suppress the urge to take her out for at least 30 minutes?

Also, why so high up?

Yes we.
Me and the guy who makes the stripes for a LOT of the pre73s that wear them , and debbie whose car it is .
I'd say it was done in about 30 minutes , but did not time it .
The reason it is so high is that I am experimenting with the design of certain parts of the boxster compared to the older 911 models that these stripes emulate .
At the moment , both sides are different , and I am kinda convinced that one side will be permanent , but might yet change my mind once thevcar is lowered next week .
It may all look very different then !!

I was thinking of driving up and down the 8 mile Hwy by my house, but I would have had to move my wife's car and for some reason I never feel like doing that. I have a two car garage and a long one car drive way that opens up to two and my wife parks her touareg at the very end. I can't wait to buy a different house with a wider drive way as I have had to valet cars all my life to get my car out of the garage.

Finally, a few pics for you, Suffered a stroke in Feb....decided to sell me dd, 06 MX-5, and find an older Boxster. PO had LN retrofit done in Mar 2011. I had the top replaced Monday moving to glass window. Had the wheels powder coated. Discovered "Plasti Dip" from reading posts on this forum, dipped the front grills and center caps.
What's really weird, key motivation was to move to Tiptronic....every day driving....not trying to justify moving away from manual, but in my case I'm pleasantly surprised. When I need my "fix", I take the C4s up to Prescott.
2000 S Tiptronic

Very nice stable you there Verhag!
I picked my car up at the local dealer after a very scary 3 weeks, me and a lot of other people thought my engine was kaputt. Turns out to be a couple of coil packs were gone. Thanks Larry, my new best friend and THE guy!

Changed the oil for the first time since I got the car. Easy job and no metal in the oil filter.

Took it to defensive driving class, so that my last speeding ticket could be reduced to a parking ticket.
