What did you do with/to your Boxster today?
1. I lost my go pro mount I'll buy one today.
2. Accident? I never really do, just touch it a bit.
3. Track day is ideal to learn a car. I'm going to the experience center in the east coast in a week, have driven lots of cars with instructors but I hate the pedal placement on the boxster. So I needed a good drive to determine what to buy.
Thanks for positive tips, if you are ever in Laramie Wyo, my parents own Corona Village. Go to the guys bathroom and you'll see me on the wall with Patric Long (:
I love WY!

Other that that, it was fine  .

Can you stop?
I swear we had a thread just like this. Once again, if I bug you so much, just don't reply to my stuff like wise members do.
Bro I'm trying contribute my 986 experience, you are old and poor. Die already.

Not here, not this thread.
Stay mannerly and stay away from the yellow line, that's all. It's for your safety and everyone else's. That's rule number 1 don't even let a spec of your left tires touch the yellow.
Decent video good luck finding a mount, I found that a 5S fits perfectly between the roll bars and rear storage tray. I've taken friends on drives over FaceTime that way.

No more touching yellow line, agreed  ️
Omg so smart on the FaceTime drive thing.
I will find a way to make FaceTime a global stream and take scheduled drives, so you guys can see the improvements of parts purchased. That's the only reason why I came here, so people could decide to buy or not parts and if they made a difference.
I have a go pro hero, I will buy the suction cup thing and put it in the rear glass when the top is down and put Camara facing front.
1080p and less shaking

There is an app like periscope for global streams. That's not my thing though, I am more for the one on one experience.

Older and wiser, but definitely not poor
you are a narcissist and immature
You obviously were either drunk or stoned when you made that video and it is very irresponsible to drive that way on a residential street
You hijacked other threads
No one really cares about a spoiled rich kid with a bad attitude
This is not Facebook or social media. We don't need or want daily updates on your childish exploits

I took my Comfort Top out after serious damage from opening with clamp catching! Dumb move but I see I'm not alone

Installed new top motor to transmission cable, squirrel catchers, and adjustable front driver side trailing arm.
Quick ride and all the noises are gone with the exception of the safety belts rubbing on the seats. Will felt them after the alignment tomorrow morning.

Axle air guides.
Front forward control arm that is adjustable, from topspeedpro1, (TRW were not available anywhere and I won't pay the asking price for the exact same piece from Porsche).

Actually last Thursday
Got back from a 5 day 1800+ mile road trip
Skyline drive>>Blue Ridge Parkway>>Tail of the Dragon>>Blue Ridge Parkway
Camped each night drove each day with the Top down. Weather could not have been better
The Boxster ran perfect except for some squeaking from the right front ball joint
Kicked over 80k miles on the clock on the way home
Averaged 25 mpg and I was not taking it easy
Boxster makes a great Camper. I probably had the oddest vehicle in the camp grounds
5 days of driving with the Top down, Shade and a view were Key
Tail of the Dragon. I feel bad. After 800 miles, I couldn't resist pushing it on each turn. The Boxster really does handle these types of turns even with both trunks and passenger side filled with camping gear, food, water and tools. Did (2) runs in between all the motor cycles.
