Hope your 911 motor isn't next. For the amount you can get a boxster vs an air cooled 964 or 993, I'll take a boxster with a slim chance of motor failure any day.
Plus they will run circles, especially an S, around a 964 or 993 in terms of overall performance especially in the hands of a typical driver.
