What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

There are 3 or 4 tiny rock chips!
I don't drive it nearly as much as I'd like. I've put about 12k miles on it in the 4 years that I've had it.

Nice! The Gunmetal Vivo's look amazing on black cars!

I pulled the front bumper and cleaned the rads. I found many leaves, a small bucket of sand and a dozen smokes. Definitely worth the hour spent.

Got to do a shakeout drive yesterday
Drove about 3-1/2 hours 200+ miles in the 90-95 degree heat top down
I just recently changed my air filter, replaced my AOS hose to throttle body (Oil seeping out on the throttle body side), cleaned my radiators, oil change, Sump inspection

I was getting 30+ MPG on the highway, 25-27 on back roads twisties. Temp was rock steady

I'm planning 1800+ mile trip in 2 weeks and needed to make sure all was well
Heading down Skyline drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway then back up Blue Ridge Parkway

I just came back last Friday from there! Did the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and Moonshine 28. Stayed in Robbinsville, NC. Amazing driving roads…you will like it. Watch for downed trees and debris if there is a rain storm, the roads get covered in branches, twigs and leaves. Also, bring brake fluid…I wore my brake pads down and had to add brake fluid.

Good idea. I have been watching the weather and hoping for minimal rain
How was Johnny Law on the Tail. I'm trying to hit that on a Tuesday, missing weekend crowds

Had a CEL for over a year from faulty secondary air system and had it repaired yesterday so no more irritating CEL light. My mechanic noticed the same squeaky noise I've been hearing and found the number four plug had not been torqued down so he fixed that. On the drive home from Campbell I swear the car had at least 10 more hp. :dance:

My first run was on a Tuesday…basically alone. Only time I seen Johnny law was on my last run on Thursday morning. I averaged 28.7 mpg driving between 75-80mph and doing the Tail was about 17…lol.
