had my boxster towed tonight

It could be many things, really. I'm sorry this happened to you. Fear of the unknown is lousy—I've had it many times with my Boxster.

Do come back to this thread and let us know what happened when a proper diagnosis has been made. You've now piqued my interest!

Engine light come on? Did it flash? That's kinda the first sign of something serious.

the engine runs. i can start it and it sounds awsome. No engine light comes on at all or any other light.

Might be something as simple as a failed drive axle, they do break in rare cases or the bolts come loose and fall out.
