Several years ago, I sold a 2000 Boxster to my neighbor. She loved it so much, she went out and bought a new 04 last year.

On Tuesday, the half shaft let go and, well, in short, goodbye to the engine.

Talk about upset, she is!

The good news is that the new engine should be in by Friday or Monday, no charge.

The bad news is the car is now "suspect" in her eyes. She wants to know why an engine with 10K miles on it should fail while sitting at a stop sign.

I did not have a good answer for her.

Is Stuttgard listening?
