What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Attempted 1st oil change...all fine until I tried to get old filter off. The autozone "cheap" alternative wrench was worthless. Trying to save a few bucks by not buying the Porsche wrench seems to be my mistake. Called my plumber and he was able to gat a channel lock type wrench on it and break it loose without damaging the filter housing.

Next project...attack the rear suspension in hopes of eliminating "clunking" noise.

There is an oil filter wrench for a Dodge? I believe that fits perfectly. I am not at home right now to see the exact model, but maybe someone else can chime in. I bought mine at Pep Boys for less than 5 bucks if I remember correctly. It works great!

...lost my AX season...by .07 seconds.
Last AX, my main rival pipped my by 0.07 seconds. Today, he did it again by the same margin.
Arrrrghhh! But that's racing. Time to start saving up for new tires for next year!
