What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Installed the benauto short throw. So far so good. Also took some shots with another GR on tan but 993

Saturday I went to the place I store my 2000S from November to April, installed the battery, faced Germany and said a quiet moment commerating Dr. Porsche, inserted the key in the ignition, held my breath as I twisted the key and.... Zingo! It started right up, as it has every year on BED (Boxster Emancipation Day), and settled into its normal idle for a few moments then I drove it home. It was a little too cool to put the top down but I was sure smiling and looking forward to the coming months.

Replaced my vacuum reservoir last weekend and achieved SAI monitor readiness today. Learned a few things but not a job I’d want to do anytime soon.
Super happy.

Added fender flares, wired up the winch and painted the front bumper.

Yeah, you need to send those pictures to Stuttgart

That is the most extra ordinary Boxster I have ever seen.

Follow BruceH's advice: send photos to Stuttgart. Maybe they'll develop a Dakar Boxster.

I got the 2001S out of it's Winter nap. Getting ready for the Route 66 trip in May with my friend from all the way back in 6th Grade (ago), we did a test packing. He was shocked at how small the trunk is, and then he was even more shocked to find that we can fit all of our clothes and toiletry bags for a 16-day trip into this little trunk, and still have the frunk for a cooler and our laptops.

Puzzling to me, last Summer during my road trip, the CE light came on. Back home, the dealer diagnosed as needing both Catalytic Converters replaced ($7K). No way I am spending that on a 22 year old car, even a Porsche, with 159,000 miles on it. I had these replaced in 2016 by my independent. I don't see how they would both fail at the same time. First start-up this year, no CEL. Driven now over 50 miles with several stops, and still no CEL. Maybe the OBD-II is going bad?

50 miles is not necessarily enough to trigger the CEL, it has to run several cycles. If the problem persists it may have thrown a fault code already, just has not triggered the CEL yet. You can test the efficacy of the cats yourself with a Durametric or similar tool. I use a Foxwell.
