Well thats good to know, because I almost went to the Tyson's Corner Porsche.
Arlington Porsche is only about 25 minutes away. Much better than my last duty station where the closest one was 3 hours away!

Pat - now that you've got your boxster, check out the local PCA region (www.pcapotomac.org) and try to come out to some events, time permitting!

Great, thanks, I definitely will.

Also, I found out that both cats did not go bad, it was the heat shields which cannot be replaced separately. I remember hearing other people having that problem though. So both $1200 cats have to be replaced. It seems like its a build defect that should have been figured out on the seventh model year.

Check out www.dorkiphus.net for local content, mainly 911 stuff but always helpful as there are several great local Indie shops.
