Motor Up in smoke

Hello all,

Yesterday, my boxster started smoking like crazy in the middle of rush hour traffic. It made no noise just lots of smoke. Today my mechanic tells me that they had to drain the water out of the cylinders to dry it out and get it to turn over at all. Long story short he says its time for a new motor it goes with out saying I am a little ticked off the car only has 75,000!

Has anyone heard of this happening and is it true that the motors for these toys are plug and play. Brake one pop a new one in? Doesn’t anybody rebuild engine any more?

Thanks for the input.

TB
