How many miles is your 986?
I was watching the International Auto show on Speed TV and behold was a 96 SAAB Turbo on display with 1,000,000 miles! Original engine etc, etc.
The previous owner called SAAB and they were delighted trade in his old 96 for 07 for free! free!
My 986 Boxster S at 45,000 miles.

I think it was in Autoweek, I read if you are the ORIGINAL owner of a SAAB with over 1 million miles they will give you a new car for free!

I agree
That's 3475k a yr., 1737k a mo., 435 mi. a week, 62 mi. a day and 31 miles one way trip....for 8 years that you've own it 
No wonder you bought the Benz' coz you haven't experience the real power behind the seat of the Boxster  j/k
I have a TIP Box and last weekend, while driving, I put it on Sports Mode and after clearing every turns, *I let it shift by itself at 5k rpm...wohooooo
*thanks to the D/E Instructor who said that I could do that on the TIP Boxster
