Just negotiated a deal on a new 2006 Boxster. Am trading (and getting killed) on a 2005 Corvette. The Corvette had to go. Last summer it took me 5 trips to the dealer to get the AC compressor replaced... no AC all summer, and record temps here in Upstate NY. This year my battery goes dead at least once a week. It's a known electrical problem with no known fix offered by GM. I never know if the car will start.

Here's hoping the Boxster will be more reliable and more fun.

Unfortunately the dealer has already drilled out all the front bumper for thier ugly License plate bracket (with advertisement). Anybody know of a source where I can pick up a clean mount for the plate? Have not run a front plate on my Vette. It's required in NYS. But I have never had a problem.

Now my problem is two holes in my Boxsters bumper.

Glad to come aboard...
