Using the Porsche's OEM onboard amplifier with the stereo system's equalizer, it sounds like a whole new system. I may replace the speakers later on, but for now, they sound great. (snip)

Looks great Dave! This is on my list for next year perhaps. I'll be interested in how you like CarPlay.

Thanks! I'll post an update in a few months after I've had time to learn the workings of it all. It does a lot, and I'll be interested to see how much it increases my pleasure level while driving the Boxster. Not sure how much more pleasure this car could bring me. I already look like the Village Idiot, driving down the street with this huge smile on my face. LOL!

Thanks, Bruce! It's nice being able to relax for awhile. No more projects - for now.

Gave it a nice workout this evening, topless of course. I haven't had it out in about two weeks or so, it was needed.

Replaced my drip trays. The passenger side was so badly torn, no wonder I had water leaks. I'm really shocked that Porsche thought this was a good method for keeping water out of the interior. Poorly engineered.

Finally got to drive my girlfriends car yesterday! Love the short shifter. A little embarrassed though as a I stalled it twice before I got used to it's oddly lighter clutch.

However, what a wonderful car and boy do they look good side by side.

It's spring, and a young man's thoughts turn to his .......... Boxster

Looking good, both of your cars!

Took a long drive my wife to Brattleboro, Vermont in sunny spring conditions. Car runs like a sewing machine. G*d I am happy when I'm driving it.

For the case of both me and the gf I think the previous owner had bought the lettering.

With my old boxster I bought a vinyl that said boxster in silver however the somewhat gold vinyl on my girlfriends car and the yellow on mine I'm not exactly sure.


I think I mayyyy have found it once on suncoast Porsche though.

The Wife and I took a spin down to Watkins Glen. Here are a few shots in front of Hector Falls on the way back.

Replaced the Oil Fill Tube (both parts) and the AOS. All part of the big maintenance project on my "new to me" '01S
