I am super-careful with the convertible top, but I didn't know about the cooling fins! I guess I should have been able to guess that

Also, good call on the floormats and leather conditioner. I've actually been meaning to get leather conditioner to spruce up my seats. (I just armor-all'd most of the interior)

Any suggestions...

Some items of interest -

1) 0W-40? I was initially thinking 5W-30 is pretty standard around here. I assume 0W-40 holds up fine in the summer heat?

I don't know what ya'll are thinking but here are my feelings - my gut tells me that if I had an R8 right now and a CGT, the R8 would turn more heads.

If your pop is willing to shell out 300,000+ on a CGT, do you really think a 10-20k clutch replacement is going to bother him at all?

Drool over that lambo :)

You must have spent quite some time in your cars to run up 10,000 miles in 6 months! I think I need to drive my box for fun more often instead of just to work. . . .

5,000 miles on the f430 in 6 months! It seems like most people put on 5,000 miles in 2-4 years. Mind if I ask how you ran up the miles on it like that?

Can you post a few pics (int/ext) of...

I am glad a boxster is unflippable unless you are on a slope because that rollbar looks like it has completely collapsed and killed the driver. :(

I paid 21.9K for an 01' box about 3-4 months ago. Only options were tip and a 6-disc, but the car only had 36K miles and was (visibly) in immaculate condition.
