My local dealer, who hadn't given any warranty, written or implied when I bought the car, said they would give me a break on the clutch replacement and an LN bearing replacement, which also includes a 2 year guarantee. I was a happy man!

Until my wife mentioned that she really liked the boxster, but was too short to drive it comfortably. The very helpful salesman suggested something in a 987, which has the tilt steering wheel, power seats, and ... 'Oh look' a tiptronic transmission!

My Box gets flat decked tomorrow for repairs, then most likely immediately traded off on an 07 hairdresser's car. :ah:
At least she really likes your car. My wife has not driven my car in the 1.5 years I've owned it and has ridden in it maybe 5 times. We did drive up the canyon with the top down once, but I drove too fast.

Oh well.......
