I found this forum shortly before I bought my Boxster S. I went through with the purchase even after reading all of the stories about blown engines on here. Most Porsche owners must be ignorant because they don't even know what the IMS is. A few I have spoken to have had RMS issues but that doesn't always seem to be such a problem. I think scaring guys into getting their engines fixed preemptively or after the fact is perfectly legitimate in our capitalistic society, it makes for good business. According to what I have read I no doubt have 20 or more stuck lifters, a leaky RMS, and an IMS bearing that will fail at some point. But when I get behind the wheel and the car goes vroom I have a big smile on my face. I can deal with some stuck lifters for now...

Next up H1N1 shots for the pandemic swine flu, assault rifles since Obama is going to take my guns away, gold ingots because the dollar is worthless, and most importantly fair trade coffee so I don't murder any kids in Africa.
