I have considered the possibility of attempting to swap in a used motor myself, but I won't consider paying a shop to swap in another 2.5 time bomb. This option is probably not a terribly smart one to make, as I wouldn't even consider myself a shade-tree mechanic when it comes to Porsches. If it was a VW I'd be pulling the motor tomorrow, but it's not. Instead I'll spend my time drafting a nice letter to my friends at Porsche, since I'm a far better writer than wrencher. Though it's clearly out of warranty it has fewer than 68k miles on it and is bone stock and unmolested. I'd expect a Hyundai to last twice as long; I'd have expected a Porsche motor to last longer than that. If nothing else it should make me feel slightly better just to express my feelings even if they do nothing.
