I am getting in about 2-3 days a 986 S '04. 6900 miles on it, triple black, xenons, heated seats, leather, 17 inch wheels, auto climate, 3 spoke wheel.

For those who wonder... 44k.

I CANNOT WAIT!

"I have a '05 Black Boxster with 18" wheels, upgraded stereo, windstop and Metallic Paint. Here's my question: How does a Thermos know whether to keep hot things hot and cold things cold?"

Assuming you truly give a crap- a link below. More complex that I would have thought (not that I actually read it - when an explanation loses my interest after a paragraph, I refer to it as "complex".)

Incidentally, did you know that the 987 glove box is "cooled". So instead of using a thermos to keep your Slurpee slurpable you could just pour it into your glove-box directly.

Only in the Summer time. It's piped into the A/C system (I believe all P-cars are like that) so in the Winter it's heated. Just don't want to see you make a mess of your glove box in the Winter months.

Btw, love that "howstuffworks.com". A wealth of useful, as well as useless, information.

that was a great website! I spent a useless hour reading about useless stuff.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic with the post...! Where do babies come from?
