To keep or sell, serious maintenance problems

The thing about the Porsche that I hate (when compared to older BMWs I've owned) is that the Boxster keeps getting me stranded. Waterpump, shift linkage, ignition switch all left me dead away from home. I think I'm going to keep the car because I really do enjoy it! I need to identify what else could fail in the next 20,000 miles and then go ahead and replace it. The wheel bearings are a great place to start. Any other suggestions?

I was hoping it was going to be more along the lines of this, but I guess I'll take what I can get.

-Side note, I searched for "Porsche Girls" to find that picture and got mostly wrecked Porsches. True story, search yourself.

That is what you get if you let any of these lovely ladies drive your Porsche. Ha ha although I would have a very hard time saying no to the Miss Daisy Belt.
