Hi, just wanted to introduce myself and show you guys my new-to-me Boxster. I traded my modified '01 Tacoma to MarkZeroNine for this car. Still not sure if I am going to keep it in the long run, but it's a fun car for now. The car has 53k on it and is super clean. Mark and I met in Texas for the trade, and the 3000 rpm vibration developed on the way home so I am pouring urethane in the motor mount to fix it. Here are a couple of pics of the car on the lift in my garage.

Hi and welcome! I've got a '99 arctic silver with red interior. You might want to check these out from Pedro's I understand they are very good. http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site_2/TechnoMount.html

Thanks, I saw Pedro's mounts. I figured I would give this a shot before buying one.

good lookin' car, same color as my 99! How much did the lift in your garage cost?

It was about $2k, but they do group buys too which can save you a bit. Maybe we could get one going here if enough members want one.

Nice set-up. Really like the lift. A group buy may just be in order.

I have the same SS tool box (thanks Costco).

Yeah it's a great tool box, especially for the price.

Is this your house garage!? Damn they are cool I wish I can have this kind of garage at home with a lift.

Yes this is my 2 car garage at home. The lift is only $2k and is a worthwhile investment for a guy like me who is turning wrenches almost every night in the garage. That motor mount was 1000x easier on a lift than laying on my back eating dirt.
