what have I done

I have had mine since this summer, so, I'm only a few months into ownership. I bought it with 58k miles, it has nearly 65k on it now. I negotiated new front tires and all wheel alignment into the purchase.
-1st oil change, oil filter
-air filter
-lower temp thermostat (it really does keep the temp at 180 at hiway speeds and cooler weather)
-new passenger seat belt (eliminated air bag light)
-Durametric cable and software so I could reset my own codes AND see what's going on. Cool diagnostics tool.
-replaced engine coolant. This was by accident. When I topped off the coolant, it didn't thread the cap on correctly and nearly all the fluid belched out when I parked a few days later. I was really freaked.
-topped off power steering fluid
-routed an RCA to 1/8 cable from the remote CD audio to the cab so I can use my iPod player instead.
-installed a grey on grey "Boxster" lettering to rear trunk lid.
-thinking about an aftermarket exhaust header.
-thinking about the gehto holes drilled in the exhaust tip.


-The engine came apart with PO at 37k in 2008. New Porshce factory engine was installed so I'm at about 28k miles on new engine and clutch.

that's all I can think about for now. It's my daily driver in southwest Colorado about 60 miles/day.
