This is going to be a dedicated fun car. I have a Ford Focus as a daily. I plan to use the Boxster primarily as a fun weekend car, stuff like heading out into the mountains. I suspect I will eventually dabble in autocross and/or track days, but those will come down the line.

I probably should just pay for a professional PPI, but tbh if the car has 127k on the clock I feel like the IMS issue would have presented itself by now. My understanding is that the percentage of vehicles affected by the IMS issue is a bit exaggerated.
