I knew someone who was friends with a director at the Supreme Court. The director invited us to have lunch at their famous cafeteria after a personal tour of the chambers. Very nice. Over lunch someone brought up 60 Minutes. His whole mood went sour in two seconds.
He said that if any of us were ever in a position to be visited by their reporters to immediately lock the door and ignore their calls. Lots of bad things to say about their ethics and integrity after they apparently tried to do a story on the Court. "their only goal is to make you look stupid or corrupt"
Personally, a story about Boxsters with exploding engines would really hurt resale without anything getting accomplished. Bad press is not going to hurt Porsche one bit. They're selling sedans and SUVs to Chinese billionaires who could care less.
Fewer folks buying Boxsters and Carreras would be bad for everyone. That being said if you do by one and don't immediately address the IMS I think you have to live with the consequences. Neither would I put off the IMS swap until the clutch wore out. Do it as soon as you get the car. The savings of putting off the clutch repair can cost you too dearly to be worth the gamble. Any mildly experienced Porsche mechanic can do this job in a day. My indy told me they've done like nearly 400 or something. Sounds like a standard part of the clutch job now.
