It is a cool car and I have always loved the design. That blue car is awesome too, not so excited about that blue interior.

On the Boxster, I think I have finally bottomed out the cooling issues. After fixing the bleeder valve issue I thought I still had issues as I can hear some hissing and gurgling when listening to the tank top area. Last night I took it out for a ride, got it good and hot and brought it back into the shop. I grabbed an ear plug and jammed it in the drain hole, filled this top area with water and looked for bubbles. Not a single bubble emerged from the valve or the cap. I think this resolves my cooling system issues. The temp needle gets up to right at the 8 and 0 and stays there like it's painted on. At Idle the fans come on and the needle goes up and down very slightly as the cooling system does it's thing.

Now on to some electrickery jobs. Wipers don't park, horn blows the fuse. Install new stereo.

Pics will follow later!
