Any danger in being a garage queen?

I think Blinkwatt is wrong about things being fine. You could suffer depression from lackaboxa. You seem to have a mild symptom by just worrying about it. Next GUILT sets in. No telling what after that. Maybe start looking at Buicks to replace the TT.

Get that baby outta the gates and onto the Winding Road for some trips to redline!

Dear Lord! Your post came close to making me cry. 30-45 minutes a week? In a GATED COMMUNITY? With so little exercise I'm surprised the SPCP (Society for Protection of Cruelty to Porsches) hasn't taken it away. In the name of all that is good and twisty, drive the thing!

Failing that, set it free. If it comes back to you, run! Cuz that'd be one FREAKY CAR!

It sounds you are making the Boxster into a veal cutlet. I don't see the need to get a P-car and not to use it. I use mine everyday top down as much as I can. Luckily I have only 15 minute commute or shorter depending on my speed mood. I use my car all year round. I love it and I would be nuts to put in the garage so I could save it from use! Dump the TT, which sucks anyway, and drive the Boxster which is the standard for all sports cars. Get rid of your guilt and drive the car that truly rewards your driving experience!

It is important to get the engine up to temperature and "burn off" moisture & condensation. It is also good to get the VarioCam (does the 1997 have this?) fully exercised. I don't think driving in your neighborhood, like you have been doing, is enough to fully warm 9 quarts of oil.

If you're driving it less than an hour a week, what do you care if it stops running?

A TT as a substitute? Interesting choice.

That's very funny. I think I peed in my pants a little.

I'm not sure I would use "Queen" to describe anything....except...ah, nevermind. Don't want to open that can of worms again.
