Note.

Not a good idea to come to a board full of Porsche enthusiasts and complain about a totaled car and no insurance and a loan on it, then go on and on and on and on about how you're going to fix body and suspension damage yourself because if you set your mind to something you can do this, just watch!! (He had zero money and was getting money from his mom to help pay for repairs and cover payments) Said late leaving for something and only going 45kmph or very low speed and somehow magically bounced off one curb to a sign pole and curb and rock wall. Both of same side wheels and suspension ripped right off.

Seems I remember saying that will NEVER be a Porsche again.

I sorta remember that thread. I didn't think the guy was serious. The pics of the wreck were way too bad. But it's a good reminder to fully check into any used car before buying, especially a specialty marque in a small market.

And at some point wasn't he asking for donations from his new American friends?

Yes. Even $200 to get him started or something similar.

As jay had mentioned the boxster s not only receives better better brakes, a 6 speed, the 3rd rad, ect.. The boxster S also receives forged pistons. And either forged rods or crank.

I've driven other boxsters and I think what really drew me in was the 3.2. That being said I think when Porsche designed the boxster they ended up with a better platform than the 911 but were to proud to admit it. Hence why the base 996 got a 3.4 and S got a 3.2.

But you know... a little idea in my head about doing a 996TT swap or GT3.. help pls
