What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

A couple of hours waiting and a flatbed trip later, my car is sitting in my mechanic's parking lot, dripping fluid. Ugh.

Sounds like you many have just burst a hydraulic line. Sucks, but I could have been worse.

That is what I'm thinking about the line, but I'm no expert with the clutch hydraulic system. I'm sure I have many hoses and lines that are ready to be replaced. Luckily, the auto-hobby shop is opening on the base where I live, so I should have easy access to get after these soon-to-fail items.
And you're right... it could have been worse. Lots of thoughts were going through my head about if it was the engine, transmission, or what as I was pulling off the road... but everything else seemed fine so it might just be something with the hydraulics, I hope.

Yeah, I'll bet dollars to donuts that it's a hydraulic line. Pedal on the floor is the dead giveaway.

You're on a base? You're in the service? Thank you!

I see a lot of beautiful boxsters being posted - thanks for sharing and for the motivation to get mine out hahaha..

Still have a bunch of work I really wanna do. Cleared some items off the the to-do list this weekend. Replaced the low tone horn that wasn't working, cleaned out the side vents at the same time and replaced cabin/engine filter. In the process of flushing transmission fluid and engine oil/filter (with the filter-housing-magnets mod)

Not gonna have beautiful pics out of my girl out yet, but hopefully by the end of the summer...

Drove her to the Auburn area for the weekend...roughly a 7 hour trip each way...ran flawlessly.

She pulled hard through the twisty hills, and on the freeway.

It was my first long drive with my S...top down most of the way.

Just need to remember sunblock lol.
