37k on the replacement motor put in the car weeks before I purchased it without an IMS change.

I drive it like I stole it too. Every single time I take the car out of the garage.

I have decided that life is short and I am going to drive a Porsche like a Porsche and not worry about what might fail.

Hey, if I can get the motor to implode one way or another, I have an excuse to put a big Chevy V8 in it and start street racing doctors in turbos!

My Cousin has a base 1999 with ~ 90k miles. The only thing he has done was pay the dealer to tweak the top when it was out of sync. He has never visited this nor any other Boxster Forum and couldn't care less, He just drives it.

I wish I had his non-interest perspective. I replaced the IMS bearing (on my old 2002 Boxster S) at ~ 30k and the original was as tight as a drum, no pending issues whatsoever. I read, I freaked, I reacted and spent money I should not of, live and learn........
