How swampy is your boxster after heavy rain?

[Nine8Six]

Extract of today's visit to my favorite independent Porsche performance garage:

Me: This needs fixing
Indy: why? its 20y/old, just don't leave it parked it in the rain?
Me: That is eventually going to smell bad. Needs fixing
Indy: why? everything is synthetic, do you eat in a Porsche car?!
Me: No. Only has expired human skin, little white dust you know. So can you to dry my car?
Indy: {vomitingsounds} Eh nope, I'll tell you how tough;

Buy a small dehumidifier and let it run in the car for 48hrs with windows & top closed. Make sure you empty the tray often.

Me: Can I place a small heater to create more water in the air? (smart; tapping myself on the shoulder!)
Indy: NO, you'll either electrocute yourself, set the car on fire or both. Mold feeds 100x faster on your disgusting human skin dry dust thing when heat is generated. Run the AC full blast if you can instead.
Me: What else can I do
Indy: get out of my garage and buy skin care products man
Me: hmm k, I'll let you know how it went

me: oh, last question; do most of your customers comes with human skin like me?
Indy: {{more vomitingsounds}}

Wroom wroom!

Was your Indy previously a hairdresser??? LOL.
I am certainly happy to hear your Boxster is on the road to recovery. When I first read this thread I was immediately hit with the thought of what a tragic loss it would be to this Forum if you decided you no longer liked this car.
That said I had some water enter below my seat that I got rid of rather quickly by stuffing some paper towels half under the carpet in front of the firewall with free end exposed. This helped to "wick" the water out from below. Couldn't hurt.

Nice one, thanks! His Shop Vac actually did an incredible job already, at least the "inddor swimming pool" puff of wet air is gone. That insulation got soaked behind the passenger seat. Just too much rain for what the drain was able to cope with apparently. This guy an ex-Porsche employee and running his own now. He said the only way Porsche are able to dry our cars is with the dehumidifyer/doors/windows/top closed method. I'll take his word for it

Love that roadster! I like very much my 1.4L Turbo VW also but that Boxster is a much better street toy. Another 10-15 years to go on that Boxster minimum, wouldn't be surprised.
