Just replaced the rocker molding. I ran over someone's alligator (shredded tire) and it ripped off the rubber edge. Got a replacement from the local Porsche auto recycler today and installed the piece today. Just like new.

Right you are. It was doubled-bagged and cleverly disguised as packing material in the bottom of the shipping box. Thanks for mentioning that!

Scheduled an oil change, inspection, horn replacement, and motor mount replacement today, so it looks like another frunk full of dead presidents will be consumed shortly.

Ever since I picked up my beater Boxster it had this rattle, buzzing sound when I played tunes with a lot of bass. I took apart the rear speaker deck and found out why! It looks like the previous owner must have dropped it as I can see where touch up paint was used. I secured the horn area where it was rattling and will figure how to patch the piece missing. At least for now I can play tunes without the annoying sounds.

Last night I de-snorkeled (and I only lost about 1 pint of blood!) and today my clear side markers go on.

Fitted stainless ebay exhaust, god it's loud and drones like a mofo @ 2500.
But 3000+ it's bloody awesome.! Build quality is crap though, pipes not set right in the jig before welding.

Need to sort out the drone, going to cut up my old box, see how it's constructed and make my own free flowing version biased on that.... Then do a stainless version.

Cleaned up my break callipers (still need a new clear coat,) did some leather treatment, vacuum both trunks, remove hardtop, clean out air filter, give a good once over. Little changes make a big difference though, drives like a new car,

Did a weekend getaway to Tahoe and Carson City area with our local PCA this weekend. This is how my wheels looked after 700+ miles of driving.

I've always wondered... with 267k, how many engine/trans swaps?
