Cabin Filter on 2006 Model?

Where is the cabin filter on a 2006 Boxster and is it as easy to change as the older models? If so I would do it myself when the time comes.

2 Golf Bags...

Worse case, if you have a semi-rigid bag, put one bag and ALL of the clubs in the rear trunk. Then slightly bend the other empty bag and put it standing up in the front. Works fine.

Tranny Noise

I think I know what you are referring too. Tranny sound is a bit more pronounced with the top up - I would not sweat it. Enjoy.

Does Meteor Grey = Last Year's Seal Grey?

Nice car and color combo.

Question: I have an 06 in SEAL GREY. It looks dangerously close to the color they now call Meteor Grey. Did they just change the name?
