I use an indy mechanic and get my parts from Pelican and Suncoast, but for those who may be new to this board, here's a helpful hint.
Whenever you go to your local friendly Porsche dealer for parts or service be sure to take a large tube of KY Jelly. You're still going to get serviced, but it will hurt a little less. If the battery or other part says PORSCHE in big bright letters it's gonna hurt when you hit the cash register.
I've driven Porsches for twenty-five years and can't stand the thought of not having one, but you've got to be smart and use your options when buying parts or service.
