Did my waterpump in the parking lot of a rural gas station in KY, 80 miles into my first drive in the car.

incredible,

this is the first car forum I have followed in 20 years of driving,
and I have NEVER worried about failures and break downs, until buying a Boxster and rolling Boxster forums.

It reads like all boxsters will break down, it's just a matter of time.


but as always with forums, it's generally the bad news you hear. so you end up with a distorted view of reliability.

makes sense to have basics like fuses, gaffer tape, and some screwdrivers, but really, there is nothing special about a boxster that requires you to have any different emergency tools that other cars.

I have my phone, breakdown cover, and cash, and that's all I need, just like every other car I have owned

That was ALMOST me. I drove mine home from Dallas on a Saturday. Monday morning driving to work....half dead water pump. Thank god it didn't go in the middle of no-where east Texas.
