I love my Boxster.
Wait, is this possible???

A 1999 Boxster that has 154,000 miles and is shifted near redline!!!

Surely 10K oil changes must have hurt something by now!!!

Surely the motor should be worn out by now!!! Or have a leaking RMS, or an IMS failure???

Could it be the original clutch????

More "evidence" that driving these cars hard is not going to kill them!!!
