There is no reason to think a 90k+ miles car
won't have an IMS problem. Know of several. It really seems to have little correlation with miles driven.

We should get spoiler decals made up too, saying, "..No IMS failure...YET!"

I just checked...there's no "MY IMS FAILED" facebook.
Although if you're going to do that something much more inflamatory would be in order.
"My $80K Porsche engine exploded...can you spare a Benjamin?"
keep them coming

In good will, did Porsche cover half the cost of the tee shirt at least?
