Yep, I was talking about Bozo the clown and do you remember Wizzo the wizard? He ran around saying doodee doodee doodee. Um, this really got weird...going back to my beer and TV.

We had a local Bozo. I went to see him live on day where he was doing a telethon.
We did NOT have a Wizzo the wizard. Must be a mid west only phenom.

asnigro, YES! Cookie, Bozo and Wizzo! I have been vindicated! The Grand Prize Game was awesome. I too practice on a regular basis...never know when I will have to call upon those skills to win a free trip to Disney world or a Porsche. I'm glad someone knows what I am talking about...I thought my forum membership might have been in jeopardy.

There is an old joke about Bozo! Everyone wanted to know what happen to him one day. And Cookie said, "I don't know, but Wizzo found his balls in bucket number six!"
Or something like that!
How about those magic arrows! That was a high tech special effect in its day!

In the land of Bozo and corn...
yeah, thats where I'm at! 
Lived in the area for 30 something years, went to Hawaii, now I'm back....
Adjuster should be out in the next day or 2, so things will be moving along shortly....
Will get a pic when I head up there with the adjuster in the next day or 2....
The internet makes the world a bit smaller now doesn't it?

That just ruined my evening...I am going to cry myself to sleep. She was so young and pure to be treated like that. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks fellow Boxsterites
Still waiting on the breakdown...Although it appears to be mostly outside metal and plastic that needs to be repairing , I look at it this way. Between the front bumper being replaced and now this, from the outside I'll have over 1/2 the car with new paint and metal. Gotta look at the bright side of things....Hell, maybe I'll just get the rest of the car (front fenders, hood and doors) painted as well!

Hi,
Read your Estimate... a couple things to consider. Make sure they spec OEM Paint, it's not so marked on the Est. Also, be sure they go for a 4-wheel alignment!!! Unibody Cars when struck can throw a wheel on the opposite corner out - you don't want a high speed vibration because of something they overlooked. Be very skeptical and realize that they want to Estimate the job at the minimun to reduce their exposure...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Thanks for the helpful advice MNBoxster! ....I'll check on the paint, tho it is being done by a place recommended by the Porsche dealer....and the alignment issue is very important as well...
Have a great one!
Lou

Little update of sorts...
The car has left the shop and is now at the dealers so they can do an overall Quality Control check of the work done and to see if anything was missed in the initial appraisal....So far they have found that the right rear control arm is bent and needs to be replaced. Alignment as well needs to be done....car is pulling to the right.....also the rear spoiler is sticking and not moving freely as it should. So some good news, but its not over yet....Westmont Porsche is also checking the coolant system and repressurizing it and testing it. At this point we're still waiting to hear back from her insurance company on the control arm and alignment....
Otherwise, alls good!
Hope to have her back pretty soon, I miss my Box!
Lou

Shes back!.....
and I have to say I couldn't be happier! 49 days later and the original problem with the anti freeze leak is corrected and the car has been put back together.....I have to say in all honesty the car looks better than it did when it first arrived. Chips and nicks on the doors and rear quarters are now gone, and the paint was a perfect match.....Westmont Porsche and International Body Shop get a big thumbs up for the work they did, I would highly recommend them both. You hear horror stories from some dealers, but these guys were top notch....Geno and Cary thanks a lot for the great service! They threw in a nice detail job as well to boot.....

Thanks for the well wishes .....I hear you on the weather, hopefully we get some warmer weather soon, I'm itching to put the top down, but I'll wait til it gets up to high 60s or 70 before I do that.....Heard enough stories about the plastic rear window cracking under cooler temps.....Life is better with the Box now back!
