First post and pics of my new-to-me Boxster S

This is my first Porsche and was sort of an impulse purchase. The Honda dealership that I've dealt with was taking this car as a trade in and the sales guy I've dealt with gave me a call. I took the car on a long test drive and took a chance at $12k. I buffed the car out yesterday and here it is. When I drove it home it had almost exactly 100k miles.





There are receipts for a new RMS, cam seals, 90k service that totalled over $2k. I spent a sleepless night the first evening with buyer's remorse but I feel OK now after cleaning up the car and shaking it down. I fixed the windshield washer and a temporarily dealt with a bunch of rattles by removing the rear speaker box, which still needs some work. The car is pretty solid structurally

I might need an AOS because I can smell stinky blowby especially down by the passenger side rear fender vent. There's a small cloud of oil smoke on a cold start too. But the oil is very slightly overfilled and I want to fix that before assuming the AOS is the problem.
