I'm all for enforcing laws for public safety, but I've seen way too many traffic stops focused on revenue generation. Pulling over cars going 15 over on an empty interstate seems to be much more...

I got a ticket two days a row on a road trip for going 80 in a 70. My four speeding tickets I've received in my life were for going 80 in a 70. Funny enough these stopped after getting a Valentine...

I went back to driving my A3 manual after my Boxster for a week. The first time I pushed the clutch on my A3 I slammed straight into the floor! Very different feel for the two cars, and the A3 is...

I actually got the accident car (clean title) I mentioned earlier and squeezed in to my range. I have the pre-repair pictures, full repair invoice, and I talked to the body shop owner. I had a good...

Got my 2010 Boxster S (manual) about 2 weeks ago. I had a great time driving it across the Sierras. Pardon the bugs which were along for the ride on my front bumper until I got home :D

I'm looking at a 2006 S with a build date of 09/2005. Will this have the upgraded IMS bearing?

I've decided I'm willing to take my chances with the upgraded IMS. I've never been one to buy...

I understand the 09-11 are nicer, but the 2007 is nice enough for me :-) The conversation will go a lot easier with 'the boss' if I keep it under $30K. You have to love those psychological...

Good point. I don't plan on selling any time soon, but you never know. In any case, I found a 2010 S I could stretch to purchase. Is a 2010 (<20K miles) worth $10K more than a 2007 S (<40K miles)?...

I found a 2010 S within my price range. The car was in an accident. The owner rear ended another car, but it doesn't have a salvaged title. Other than that, it looks good. It is one owner, from a...

I do prefer the 07's of course, but there are significant pricing differences on resale (around $4-5K for 15 ponies).

OK, found there were some significant changes in '03. What would be the noticeable differences in a late 986 S vs a early 987 S?

I don't like the dash at all in the 986.

I haven't done much research on the 986's. What should I look for? What is the difference between an early 986 S vs a '04?

Something else I should add. I barely put 3K miles a year on my A3. I only have a 4 mile drive to work, and 3-4 days of the week I'll bike. I'm worried having two cars with little driving would...

Looking for a Boxster, what to buy with my budget?

Hi guys, new poster here. I'm a bit early for my mid-life crisis (late 30s), but anyways I seem to have the Porsche bug. I think I got it from my neighbor and his '84 911 Targa.

I've been...
