Hmm, awsome boots! I drive my Boxster in the snow all the time. The car is actually very managable up to about 4-5 inches of the stuff! Past that it starts to bottom out and gets a bit squirrely. If...

I throw a set of Blizzacks on my '97 and drive it all Winter. I don't take it out if the snow is deep, but in the cold it runs fine. I've had it out in some pretty slick conditions and the car...

I moved to Colorado from Illinois in 1987. I think a new snowboarder would enjoy what I call the "real" Colorado ski towns. These are cities that existed before the big ski resorts were built. As...

I think what you are experiencing is normal. When I push my 986 at altitude, in warm weather I will often see the temp needle creep a bit past its normal position. Same thing sometimes occurs in...

My '97 has the original top and the condition is very good. I treat the top at least twice per year with Raggtop cleaner and conditioner. If yours will be outside you will probably want to increase...

It's also possible the seatbelt receptacle contacts are bad. This is common on earlier Boxsters. It requires new receptacles with redesigned contacts to be installed. Easy DIY but a dealer will...

It's hard to diagnose this without a look see. Most of the conv. top issues on 986's are cable related. Design flaw. If you heard roof motor sounds the drive system was working. The big issue with...

I'll probably catch a raft for this, but I agree that the leather is so coated it's hard to get to with "conditioners". I use good ole Armorall on my '97 seats and wipe off thoroughly. I get the UV...

The way you describe the problem I'm going to guess you have a 986. (Always include your year) It sounds as if you have snapped a roof transmission cable(s). This is pretty common on older Boxsters....

Like Randall, I have'nt heard of this on 987's. But be sure to check the alignment of the clamshell to ensure it did'nt bend or warp. I had the roof transmission cables snap on my 986 and luckily...

I think you should be fine. My '97 is a Dallas car and I've had it up to Leadville, CO which is over 10,000'. No issues with the tank. Don't know what year your car is but I would be sure to have the...

I use the Novus plastic polish kit on my '97 and the original rear window looks near new. I've used this stuff for two years and even my dealer is impressed with the condition of the window.
