Porsche just bought me a new engine

But I am curious. Does attending a Porsche Club performance driving school void the engine warranty? That strikes me as " strange" given that the car is suppose to be a sports car built to hold up at its limits....

Or have the lawyers done it to us again....

Couple things.......

1) A Porsche Club (PCA) event does not imply Porsche Approved

2) I think it was Dan Quail (remember him!) that once said the USA has about 5% of the World's population....and 20% of the World's attorneys!!

I just love the observation that either Road & Track or Car & Driver made in the '70s about manufacturers' approaches to dealing with the (then) new and cumberson smog laws: the Big Three hired attorneys while Honda hired engineers.

The engine in my 99 986 blew Labor Day 2004. 5 year, 38K miles. I was never really told what caused the problem but they said that the 4th and 5th cylinders seized. Porsche did replace the engine but I had to pay for the installation. I also got a two year or 100K warranty on the new engine.

Two weeks ago the check engine light came on so I had it checked when I took it in for my annual oil change. It was an air mass sensor. $800 fixed that problem. I really like the car but this is getting old.

My 04 boxster has had the engine go. My internal shaft broke at 11,000 miles and the engine was replaced.
