Porshe and IMS issues

Well I bought one....a 2001 Boxster with 34 K miles; I love it!! Unfortuenatly the lady who sold it to me moved up to a 2003 model with similar mileage.....hers just went BOOM! She also has a friend that has one similar year and mileage and seems to be holding together so far.

I'm scheduled to pay $2,300 for the IMS upgrade Monday, hopefully I make the 500 mile round trip to my brothers wedding over the weekend. I'll drive the piss out of her and maintain it for what it is; but fairly dissapointed. Sorry folks, one out of three isn't good odds IMHO. My next car might be another Bavarian product; the BMW M6 looks nice... I understand things happen but this is "clearly" something that has been swept under the rug.

Must admit my old man looks good playing in my new toy though...He has a BMW Z4; I think he secretly likes my Boxster better. :dance:

other points of interest...have had it up to 125MPH and carved some canyons...WOW, I might be a little pissy about the IMS issue but it "IS" a driving machine.
