What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[HAUSIDMT]

Put gas in for $4.49 a gallon. Then went to work...at least it is a fun commute. Open nothingness out in the Central CA grapevines.

Picked up my 986 today and I was in my own little world I absolutely loved it and can't wait to do it again.
There were a couple of hiccups though one at the petrol station not inserting the fuel pump in properly which means about half a liter of petrol spat out all over the car and my shoes I hope the smell goes soon and I stalled on the high way in peak hour traffic and took me about 45 seconds to restart lol.

I stalled mine several times in the first few months of owner ship this spring as well.

It does take time to restart due to having to ign off first.

Takes a bit of getting used to and after 4 months its starting to feel very good now.

The shifts are flying faster and smoother every week and mostly a few fingers is better than a fist full of knob. (That sounds wrong when I read it )

Also splashed some fuel one time as well.

Installing new front brake pads tomorrow and completing my brake fluid flush (Did not know about the 2nd bleed valve) and associated video to post on these forums.

I had the worse day imaginable

I've only had my 986 for two days and an Asian driver had to go and crash into me as I was minding my own business and driving peacefully in my lane.

He tried to enter my lane at about 50/km and didn't see me (blind spot he sais) he took out my right rear view mirror scratched my right door and put a nice dent on my right panel and dented the rim on my wheel.

I have to take it to a local repair shop here in Sydney I prey to god they do a good job I am absolutely gutted.

Thats so sad. getting anew toy and having some other dope bust it.

I suppose there's something to be said for driving so fast its like everyone else is standing still. But you need cat like lightning fast reflexes and have a high SA to avoid the non-autobahn mentality drivers (Stay to the right or die!).

Sounds like mostly a light hit so at least there not likely to be serious frame twisting and alignment issues.

But like the others said I would insist the alignment be checked anyway and even the slightest issue be corrected on his insurances dime.

I put mine away for the winter. Sad few months ahead. At least it's hibernating at my home in the garage so i can go visit often.
The weather's gotten really cool, and since I started the driving season early, (remember what March was like), I figured it would have to happen relatively soon.
At least I got out with it on Tuesday; drove it like I stole it, topped up the tank and had an e-test done. Ready to go for the spring!
Still neeeds a good washing and the cover put over.
Wished I lived in CA or FL!
Winter in Ontario sucks.
