Overheated to 250, died on side of highway, left stranded

You really jinxed yourself in the "yearly repairs" thread.

I had a Mazda Speed3 rental when my Boxster was in the shop for some body work a few weeks ago. I know exactly what you mean when going from the Box to a regular car.

Good luck with the diagnosis at Reid Vann. Hopefully they'll have some affordable options for you.

I would be curious to look at the oil dipstick and coolant reservoir to see if any oil or coolant had mixed together..

Wish you luck, hopefully you'll find out today the cars fate..

bar10dah, you sure it was a Mazdaspeed3 and not a regular 3? Speed3s aren't really all that regular of a car, lol, nor are they usually rentals (because that would just be too much fun while my car was out of comission).

Honestly, I don't know. That's just what the guy said to me when I was renting it from Hertz. When I showed up to rent a car, the guy asked me what brought me in. I told him I just dropped my car off at the body shop and needed a car for about a week. He asked what kind of car, so he could put me in a comparable rental car. When I said Boxster, he said he had a Speed3 on the lot that'll be the same. NOT!
