Say it ain't so. I will miss the travelogue photos. Love the back road shots the most.

Noooooooo!!!! All it needs is a simple power train transplant! If your box goes, so go all the great pictures of your travels. What is needed to keep you on the road? Anybody out there for a "Keep Retroman1969 in a Boxster" drive? Send him parts? Encouragement? What?

You definitely have a talent for photo shoots and locations. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures with her.

She deserves a good home

1) Put another transmission in there and run it to 300,000 miles.

or

2) I've got (maybe just enough) room for one more out here in the Cherokee lands. I have a Tiptronic ZF 5HP19FL transmission from a Passat gathering dust and I'm curious if it will work in a box. If you think it can still make the drive down I-40 East, I'll make an offer to get you some cash towards another daily driver 986.

I'll see your $25 and raise you $25!

I wonder if Woody has the appropriate transmission for this emergency...
