Any other "horror" ideas?

So don't drive your car.

All cars have their weak points, if you look at other forums you'll quickly realise that. I'm just gonna change my ims bearing and try not to read any of the other "what ifs" that come up on forums. When I see people driving their boxsters and I know for sure that they know NOTHING about the problems that may arise in their engine I feel jealous of them, a pure case of "ignorance is bliss"!!
Btw, if I remove the green cam cover plugs to lock the cams,why cant I use them again, will they be totally destroyed? I dont feel like running around for what looks like a cheap piece of plastic!
