I Have Never Seen a '99 Boxster with So Many Options

Never seen rain!.....funny

I would hope that the car got washed once in a while.

I would think that in Florida there are many days with 100% humidity, and 100% salt in the sea breeze, so even garaged a lot may not save you from corrosion
of some sort.

Last week I had to drive mine a pretty long distance to a mechanic that is approved by LN engineering to have the IMS replaced. The weather called for heavy rain (and we got it), so I decided to replace the wiper blades. I picked up the 02 boxster last year and this was the only time that I've driven it in the rain. The blades were so old that I wondered if anyone had ever driven it in the rain.

... and the power of the sun increases the further south you go. Am I the only person who doesn't care about carbon fiber except in serious weight-saving uses?

That is a serious issue, steel door hinges rust in 3 years, even chrome hardware is heavily pitted after 7 years. Even stainless steel hinges show corrosion. We have baking pans inside the house that have rust.

This is why hubby built a dehumidified car cozy (super insulated section of the garage) for his 911. He is threatening to build one for my Boxster. I think I'll let him.
