At this point, that's true. This is the first repair I've had done to the car since I bought it about a year and a half ago, so if I had passed I would have still saved money. However, the peace of...

Russ said he came over here from Southern California and he's seen more CV boots split in 3 years than in 10 in CA.

Warranty Direct + awesome Porsche dealer = very happy customer

So this last weekend my future father-in-law and I decided to tackle the 60k service on my S. He has a nice shop with full lift that makes getting under and working on my car a cinch. We replaced...

I hate the Z3. And I hate the Z4 more. I also hate the M version of the Z3 as well, partially because it looks like drunken clown-shoe designer stumbled into the BMW design room the night before...

To give you an idea of their size, they will fit a normal soda can quite well. They're just flimsey and shallow, so anything taller than a soda or small drink is precarious at best.

On my 02 S, I get around 22-25mpg in town, and closer to 28-30mpg on the highway. WAY better than my 01 Prelude. Not steller, but more than reasonable for a sports car IMO.

I dunno about the 987, but my 02 986 S hasn't needed a drop since it's last change at 30K. It's coming up on it's 45k service, probably this week.

Kumho Ecstas are good tires (have them on my 02 S), but they can be loud. Just stay away form Potenzas. They are overpriced for what you are getting.

Has anyone tried Federal tires? I read...

Well I can see the argument as pulling the refill out too many times can warp/weaken the actual blade assembly. But I don't think it needs to be done very often, especially when the only thing wrong...
