As far as not buying another Porsche, I'd dare say my car has improved my mental health. I love the Boxster, it makes every trip special. Sure Porsches are expensive to maintain, I paid around 1,800.00 for a 944 clutch job. I also had a colleague who paid 15,000.00 for a 328GTB clutch job. For most of us in here, we like grease, wrenches and the satisfaction of placing our own hands on our creations, the joy of subtle tweaks we engineer into our cars; it's a religious experience. I'll say this, if my 2.5 blows up (1998, 24,600) I won't put a 2.5 back in but there will be no for sale sign either...

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday, peace Yo's

I love the cars, I am not high on the company. I don't think they value customers very much unless you march to their tune.

Just an opinion and there is nothing like a box.
