What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[986 Boxster]

I used these measurements for the P and the E and then I used painters tape under the letters in a straight line and spaced the remaining letters out evenly. I didn't like the template that came with the letters from Suncoast, the letters were to far apart. I also didn't like the way they looked when I tried following the same curve as the Boxster letters. Hope that helps. It takes a bit of patience to get them all spaced out evenly.

Helps tremendously, thanks!

You're welcome Radman. You will have to make sure that the P and the E are straight. If you look at the picture with the measurements you will notice that, that person put the letters following the trunk curve, mine are straight. Once I had the P and the E in place I placed the template above them to make sure they were straight. If I had to do it again I would center the S and work my way to the outsides, it would've been a lot easier. I only though about that after I was almost done.

Today I looked longingly at my car. Just dealt with 3 heart attacks, stents and a quadruple bypass in the last 2 weeks. That’s the easy part- I can’t drive for 6 weeks and by then the snow will be flying…. Spring is a long ways off…..

Sorry to hear your news but it sounds like you are on the mend. Pray for an Indian Summer and maybe get a couple of drives in before the snow flys.

Best of luck for a full and speedy recovery! Not the same, but maybe someone can take you for a ride in your car while the weather is cooperating.

found a great new route in So Cal. Well new to me at least. From the valley go to Little Tujunga Canyon. As a side note Car and Driver wrote about part of this in the June issue. Basically, take Little Tujunga all the way into Santa Clarita. It turns into Sand Canyon and hits the 14. There is a In n Out at the end of Sand Canyon and if you time it right you can get lunch. After lunch go past the 14 and make a right on Soledad Canyon Rd. Take this to Sierra Hwy and continue to Palmdale. About a mile or so make a right on Angeles Forrest Hwy. You then take this to Big Tujunga Canyon Rd to the end. Took this today on a whim. I was just going to go back after I went to In n Out, but for some reason there was a bit of road work going on so I thought about going all the way to Angeles Forrest and I am glad I did. This was a great route. You also have 2 other options on Angeles Forrest, you could make a right on Upper Big Tujunga which leads to Angeles Crest, or stay on Angeles Forrest to Angeles Crest. Both of these are good options if you are looking to make it a longer drive. Today was a great day for a great drive.

We are truly blessed in southern California with great roads and weather. I am less than ten minutes from a trip up Mt. Baldy, with the option of Glendora Ridge for a bit longer route.

Thanks for the well wishes…. Had a few setbacks since I posted that message but doing better. I still can’t drive, but I was up to wiping down the Boxster with a polishing cloth yesterday. Put the top up to stretch out the wrinkles as I’ve had the top down for months. Hooked up the trickle charger to top off the battery and managed to straighten out the garage a little bit. Altogether: while not much, it was a little sense of normalcy in what’s been an incredibly chaotic time. The forum has been a bright spot so thanks to all who contribute the wisdom advice and experiences we all share with these wonderful cars.
