First time driving my '99 in the rain.
We're having a pretty good rain today. I hopped on the freekway to go to Walmart.
Happy to report no leaks.

I washed it, then had a talk with Skippy, our latest 'rescue dog', about cars.


...then had a talk with Skippy about tape.

Gazed at the little green light on the battery maintainer that is next to the battery and smiled, knowing it's only four months until I put the battery back in the Boxster and take it for its first drive of 2019!

Yeah, I know I'm trying to make lemonade out of lemons but that's the best I can do in hibernation season.

The weather hasn't been that bad yet. If no snow or ice I'm driving mine.

Yeah, here in Colorado I keep mine in a "semi" stored state. I can usually drive a few times a month through the winter. Might take it out today in fact!

got my Boxster back on the ground yesterday.

The driver side rear axle decided to leave the comfort of the transmission flange. This was because the mechanic in my shop did not torque the axle flange bolts with a torque wrench. But instead tightened them with one of those "L" shaped allen wrenches.

So had to install a new flange on the transmission and since I was there I installed my headers, and FVD Brombacher muffler

Also a note to ANYONE installing the cheaper axles from Pelican or any parts house. The bolts they supply are 10x50mm which is the same as OEM. BUT the axle flange is a little thicker thus a little less bite from the bolts. Save yourself some grief and possible future issues and go to Fastenal and get your self some 10x55mm bolts.

Upper right in your first picture... on the plenum... looks like blue tape wrapped around something...

What is that?

Thanks!
