What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I figured wrong.

Sorry to hear. Tried teaching my wife to drive manual on the Boxster, and after a few stalls, I told her that was it for the lessons that day. Perhaps your clutch was on it's way out soon anyway?...how many miles on it?...

Most likely was worn to begin with, though I never noticed it slipping. The car came with a fairly extensive service record and there's no mention of a clutch job anywhere, though I'm not sure a stock clutch could last 96k miles.

I got rid of my dd a few months ago, so I'm stranded until I get it done and that may be a while.
