Thanks, Gilles. Not that I haven't wondered if I were crazier than an outhouse rat to take it on. But even on projects when I was dead certain I was in over my head (and there have been a few of those), I ultimately prevailed by not giving up but continuing to chip away at it. In other words, I'm too stupid to quit.

I take the same approach. The only exception I make concerns projects that may result in harm to myself or others.
I think that most of us with 25-year-old Boxsters have another form of transportation we can use when the Boxster is out of commission. Although it can be annoying to have a car in pieces for an extended period, overcoming the challenges will make your ultimate success sweeter.
To paraphrase the immortal words of Bruce Springstein in the classic song "Rosalita" - Someday you will look back at this it will all seem funny.
