Talking Paranoia

I too am a fairly new Boxster owner ('99 Boxster bought used). I have read a lot about engine failures over at PPBB and it has made me rather paranoid too. But, on the other hand, you would have to think that the odds are probably not that great that YOU will experience this kind of catastrophic failure. Knock on wood. Porsche did have some runs of bad (porous) engine blocks and such, the engine sleeve thing is another one. So far so good and mine has about 47K on it. Hope for the best and try to be less paranoid about it, that is about all you can do. I don't know anything about the Warranty Gold, but if it would give you peace of mind, I guess you should find out about it.
