What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I drove her to work this morning...........looking forward to a long (stress relieving) drive home

Now the warmer weather is here I am starting to do some basic things from the 101 book. Just changed the engine air filter and was amazed at how dirty it was. Have had my 2001 Boxster base two years and have done 10k miles on it. Have no idea when it was replaced before but it sure needed it....filter was black and could barely see through it.

Dropped mine off for servicing including replacing the dreaded ignition switch. I'm afraid my back (2 herniated discs in the lumbar region) isn't up to the torturous gymnastics required for that DIY replacement. We'll see what it costs me, but I believe it makes just as much sense to pay a technician for physical discomfort (and personal pain savings) as it does for their skill!

pulled both front struts out- was a lot easier than I expected as only two joints had to be popped out (tie rod ends). Everything seems healthy- waiting for new wheel bearings (4) to arrive as well as clutch bolts and ROW M030 kit

A couple of weeks ago I had a bad week with the boxster Got a speeding ticket on one day (45 in a freakin 30), then backed it into the tire of my explorer on another day when I was switching cars in the driveway.

It turned out that the rear bumper was damaged previously and poorly repaired. A coating of fiberglass cracked like an eggshell and left me with a huge spot of plastic bumper cover exposed.

I got it sanded and resprayed by a local shop and just got it back Monday. They did a fantastic job! This Friday I'm taking it into Eksten in Rochester for the IMS, RMS, AOS, oil change, and a coolant flush.
