You have far too much energy some times I tell my wife when she's walking to the car to check them.

p.s.

A good idea, especially for our older boxsters, have a replacement brake light switch on hand. Backing out of garage one sunny afternoon I noticed I had NO brake lights whatsoever per reflection on garage door. Wayne R. Dempsey's 101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster, p. 288, states they "have a tendency to fail once in a while."
Easy DIY, done from inside car, remove defective switch from just above the brake pedal. No tools required.
Approx $26.00 from Pelican, Suncoast, etc.
