I wish I were wrong.
Having said that, I love the way the Box looks and drives

BL you really think that? I have read countless issues of Excellence with high mileage rebuilt 911 cars in them. It seems like the sleeved, water cooled flat sixes started the problem. In a recent issue, they spoke about the new 911 engine having reduced rotational mass and weight, they ditched the intermediate shaft, which I think is the true culprit. I worked at Kodak, I have seen first hand that the "bleeding edge" of Technology always spawns problems and mods. It is also true that exotic sports cars are just that, I don't know what the Achilles heels are of Lambos but I have read many a Ferrari Halloween horror story. Having typed all this, I'll still be pissed if my 29,450 2.5 motor doesn't make 100K.
