Any thoughts?

Did you get fries?


Haha, sorry, couldn't help myself.
I don't have an answer for you. Did it sort of sputter and die, like fuel delivery? Or did it just shut off, like ignition?

My 98' Boxster (83,000 miles) did that a couple of times last summer and it threw a few check engine light codes at the same time. Turned out to be a couple of sensors in the pollution control system. Cost me about $600 and hasn't been a problem since. It was a strange feeling to be driving down the road as the dash warning lights all came on and the engine just went silent as I coasted to a stop.

I suggest you check to see if there are any stored codes with a code reader.
