New to Porsche

OK, now that everything has settled down a bit, what say we get this young lad started on the right track.

Don't do anything to your new ride except maintain it at first. Like replacing the alternator, and getting the rear window replaced. Start a maintenance history record, starting with the day you bought the car; noting the mileage. Change the oil and oil filter; check the filter for metal particles. Replace the air filter (stock, resist the temptation to go K&N), and fuel filter. Check the cabin filter to determine if it needs replacing. Check the serpentine belt; check for signs that the AOS and water pump have been replaced. If not, budget and consider replacing them sooner than later.

Make sure your tires are up to spec and properly inflated. Ensure that all lights are operational. When you go blitzing around Albuquerque, you don't want to get stopped by Johnny Law just for having a bulb out.

Use only 93 octane fuel. Drive your Boxster as if it were a violin, not a hammer.

Read this forum extensively.

If this all reads like I'm opinionated, well then................I guess I am.

But then again, I'm just sayin'.........
