What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Not today, but earlier this week, I applied some Aquapel on my 986. (In the Pacific Northwest, this kind of thing can be important.)

That stuff takes a lot of buffing and paper towels to get off! Did take a bit longer than expected to apply.

It even rained some later that day, and the 'pel worked awesomely. At low speed small droplets would accumulate and when I used the wipers, they would literally hurdle that water off the side of the glass. Above about 40 mph the droplets would move off the glass with no wipers needed.

New wipers (Bosch set specially made for the 986 with curved passenger wiper) working very well also.

Had a business trip to take yesterday and took the Boxster - 450 miles from Valparaiso, Indiana to just outside Madison, Wisconsin and back. Left at 8:30am, had a 3hr. meeting, stopped to have dinner with an old friend in the Chicago suburbs, arrived home at 10pm. 26 miles per gallon.

This was my first drive of any real distance since I've had the 2000 S (almost one year). I was a little apprehensive because of some lower back issues but was comfortable the entire time, just wished I had cruise control.

Great experience
