Enjoy the car!

Don't scare the poor guy! I am sure your car will be great. Sometimes, Ignorance is Bliss!! It insures that you will not be thinking that your motor is going out after every bump and funny noise.

Welcome and Congrats!!

1st helpful tip I learned the hard way, when cleaning your new baby, be careful around the logo on the rear trunk as it will easily snag and it is fragile I had to superglu my B in Boxster S back together as my cloth rag snaged it.

2nd tip, stay away from ??W30 oils, stick with ??W40(some like ??W50) and change your oil at least every 7500 miles or once a year!!


Other than that if your a DIY'r then Definately check out pedros garage and our DIY'r thread on here.

You can always post a question on here as 99% of the people are very helpful. Just try to search 1st or you might get scolded if its a common, beat to death topic like oil, tires,... Remember there are no Dumb questions, just dumb people Just kiddin.
