I have learned soooooo much from this forum. My Boxster ownership experience has been made so much better from the help I have received from the community here.

Thank you all so very much.

Cheers.

Exactly why coffee always will be on me considering the, literally, thousands of dollars I've saved.

Me too on that.

Never did any wrenchin' before I got the Boxster and started up on this forum. Since then, I've done a fair amount of stuff using 101 Projects, the Bentley manual, and the resources found here. Now if I only had a lift...

Let's see if I can after this yet another direction..... Haha

Im a DIY'er in basically everything but plumbing. So when I got my box, I jumped on here to see what manuals reign supreme in this world. I bought the same two you did.

Fast forward not quite 2 years; I've done everything on the car, up to and including a motor swap..... and I still haven't broken the seal on the Bentley manual.

So to anyone reading this: buy the 101 book.... but boot l not the Bentley.... until you know you need it.
And then make me an offer on mine. Hahaha

Likewise! I've looked in the Bentley maybe twice, and that was only to make certain properly I was reinstalling the belt.

99% of the answers I seek come from this forum. Likely I'll, too, sell the book and use it for coffeee money... for you guys.

But Bentleys cant fly.

I see it's not listed as a car your own in your signature?

I think it's from an English sales brochure. That is not a house/building I'd expect to see in Utah. Haha.

Ok Better get back to work here in sunny New Zealand. 10AM.

Why not? Drag it on...maybe we can eventually catch up with "What did you do with/to your Boxster today?"

That's smart. I occasionally tackle plumbing issues. I typically regret it.

That surprises me, at least a little. Me? I'm an insecure, relatively new mechanic, so with most Boxster DIYs I tend to at least glance at most of the available resources, to include Bentley. This is in stark contrast to my older son's approach, wherein he often dives in without reading a whole lot of anything ("Shop manual...we don't need no stinkin' shop manual!") Until he gets stumped, that is.
