Do cars have personalities?

No but, we as humans attribute personalities to them. My Boxster S, is sometimes

TV witch. But generally, I call her...

So, I need new cats...

Interesting, how does a vehicle that is required by law, to have cats, pass smog without them? My b.s. alarm is shrieking at the moment.

What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

FINALLY, finished wiring up my rear deck speakers to the factory radio.
Very pleased with the end result, sounds night and day better and surprisingly

Now...

Gear knob removal

In most cases, the original can be removed by twisting the lower portion of the knob counter clockwise. If there is no set screw, this is how they were originally locked in place.

If it can be removed simply by force, I'd rather drive a chevy.

Speed Booster

I use a Mac, zero ads. Sadly, the site is flawed in that it favors ads and comments over
content. Such sites are ignored.

That aside, speed boosters are snake oil, nothing more.

Need Help with Strange Vibration

This sounds more like a fuel issue to me. Sitting at a stop, there is no suspension or road issue at hand. So, odd vibrations are motor related. This leads me to poor fuel quality. Could be a knock...

What did you find on CL today?

Nothing. Craigs List is literally where you go to be robbed. Had some clown

Constant Power at Cigarette Lighter?

On most cars, the cigarette lighter only has power when the key is switched on or
in ACC. The same is true of most Porsche's. If yours has power without the key, either
someone has rewired it, or...

Boxster, or something else?

I'm 6'2". I feel like I'm falling getting in but, once in, with the seat adjusted for me

Gear knob removal

In some cases, you have to twist the bottom portion of the knob counter clockwise to release it. In others, it's clockwise. Aftermarket generally has set screws.

Over 90,000 Miles? What Do You Attribute to The Success of an Original IMS

Karma? Actually, at just over 111,000 miles, and the fact that there is no
consistent data on which vehicles definitely have dual or single row bearings
I'd say, luck of the draw.

Thing is,...

Boxster, or something else?

BMW's have very quiet interiors. Hard to know the engine is running in most. The Corvette may cost you 10's of thousands of dollars if a body panel gets damaged. The Boxster, is not quiet. Body work...

New PCA member. Where to put the decal?

Thinking of joining PCA. Worthwhile?

Zone 7, in California. Sequoia region I believe they call it. My one concern is, my car is a Boxster... I've met a lot of snobs in the Porsche world.
