Some quick questions (i.e. "Is it normal for...")

[kerplunk]

Hey guys,

I have appreciated your help so far with my other threads. I'm so glad this resource exists or I would feel very alone. I love my Boxster so far. I was telling a friend earlier that I have never got so many "I want to get in bed with you" looks from girls before in my life... combined, hahaha!

Anyway, can you answer some of these questions for me?

1. Screeching brakes. Easy to fix? Whatever it is behind the rims (discs???) look kind of rusty. Can that be sanded down or something to stop the horrible noise when I brake?

2. Is it normal for the dashboard to creak when I turn the steering wheel?

3. Is it normal for the muffler to rattle a little bit when in the lower gears? I should have got the 3.2L, the 2.7L doesn't have a lot of power in the lower gears, by the way. Disappointing as far as that goes, but at least it looks nice!

4. Does anyone know how to adjust the seat's height in the regular base Boxster model? When looking at it from behind, I noticed the driver's seat is higher than the passenger's.

I have a Porsche service appointment tomorrow.

Thanks all!
