Oh noes! NOTHING is wrong with my car!! - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Oh my god! I was driving my car home from work yesterday and nothing went wrong! The RMS didn't fail, the top still works, my rear window hasn't cracked, the fuel pump hasn't died, nothing! I don't know what to do! Maybe I should go drive it around some more!

Sorry, with all the problems people have with their cars and posting about them, I thought I'd bring a little humor into the mix. I know I haven't had my car for long, but c'mon! How about some good news for once!

P.S. To all those that do have problems, I hope they get fixed soon!

You know, lots of potential boxster owners come here and get scared off. They don't realize that if nothing's wrong with your car, or you don't need info about a mod you want to do, you are busy driving the car and not wasting your time on the internet!

I tell you what though... I went for an in-town drive last night in my box and had no CE or airbag lights, no problems whatsoever and man, it feels great!

Now I'm dreaming about new rims and a Turbo front bumper & side skirts!

wait a minute - maybe that shimmy/vibration in my 987 - maybe it's just me, i mean, maybe i'm having a seizure everytime i drive the car. maybe this is something that needs to be documented in the medical literature! maybe i just need to install an aftermarket dilantin iv in the car and then all will be good! if only...

I tell ya, you've had nothing but bad luck with that car man. Sometimes it just happens. Hopefully things get worked out.

I have to admit, I had heart failure yesterday. I pulled the Box out of the garage and what was on the floor.... a spot of OIL.

Oh, Sh-- *PANIC* RMS Failure!

Took the car to the garage and put it on the lift....

*whew*

The oil was coming from the pan gasket, no where near the RMS. One of the bolts on the oil pan was a bit loose. Tightened her up, and brake-kleened the pan, and I'll check her out again in a week or so to see if that fixed it. [/panic]

other than my throttle body failure of last week This car has gone close to 30,000 miles without a single problem. Mechanical or electrical.
People say Porsche never report problems because the owners never put enough miles on them but based on my experience I have to say its been no different than when I owned my Honda or Mazda.
....well except for the oil change that costs 4X's more.
