What's wrong with this picture?
 

Can anybody tell what's wrong with this picture?

the service miles at 115 should be 1 mile.

It's a white faced guage (Boxster S) and it only goes up to 150mph...It should be going up to 175mph

Since when are white faced guages only on the Boxster S?

Anyway i have no idea whats wrong with the picture......Almost 30k miles time for Major service :)

^What? When did the base ever have white gauges?

The cruise control is set at zero mph? ;)

Adam, you can order the Boxster with Carrara White gages (and other colors too). The code is XJF (white) and costs $690.

Doesn't it go up to 175?

1997, first year of the boxster even had them. You can have what ever you want as along as your got the $$$. I dont think they are even stock on the "S", everything is an OPTION.

You can get dials in:

Sand Beige (XFD)
Terricotta (XFE)
Natural Brown (XFF)
Guards Red (XFG)
Speed Yellow (XFH)
Carrara White (XFJ)

Call me crazy but my 01S has the MPH digital readout where the odometer is in this picture?
Do earlier Boxsters have a different spedo setup?

01S
Triple Black

The digital speed readout used to be were your current milage readout is. It was eithier in 00 or 01 that it was changed.

Then they changed it back under the tach in the 987. Makes more sense there.

Jeph, so what is the problem?

Nothing is wrong with the picture, I just felt like seeing some creative posts.

I was just excited to post a picture of my car on the verge of adulthood.

(I don't get out much)

:confused:

Jeph you tease.

That is hilarious...jeph. How's that bottle cap collection going?

Thanks for asking, but dude, the collection is getting ridiculous! I'm up to 3 cupfulls! They're under my desk -overflowing, and I'm constantly kicking the cups over! It feels like my life is spinning out of control -all because of these bottle caps that have a hold of me! I'll post a new photo of that action later.

you're weird, in a funny way. I'm new to the board and I guess I will just have to get used to eccentric Porsche people and their strange pass-times and humor. ;) Plastic bottle cap collecting and scamming people into thinking something's wrong with their guages. Ha! Love it.

Awesome! Hey thanks! I don't know if it's a Porsche thing (doubt it) or a Jeph thing (most likely) but welcome to the board anyway!

Wait a tick... Are you a Boxster guy, or an STI guy? (Definately a boxer guy either way)

Actually, both. I have an '06 STI. My girlfriend and I (might as well be my wife) just signed a purchase agreement this weekend for a '00 Boxster S in Arctic Silver. I kicked in a 2 grand to help her out. I call it "upgrade to an S money". ;) ;) We pick it up this week. We are just waiting for our bank to send the check so we can pay the current owner and take posession of the car. These last few days of waiting are going to be torture.

We have been looking for the right Boxster for about 3 weeks now. We ended up getting this beauty for $25,650. IT has 51K miles.

I am trying to get my girlfriend into autocrossing. We are both signed up for an auto-x driving school on Dec. 3 and then are competing in the autox event on Dec.4 (this weekend). It's like a wet dream come true. I am hardly sleeping at night recently.

How did you know I was an STI guy?

See ya around the forums...

You're all over the place bro! Used to be a 323i guy, a Mazda guy?... and did you ever get that Bimmer Bike?

Wow, you're stalking me! :lol:

I owned a 323i for about 6 months, which wasn't a good experience for me due to the condition of the car. It was a $3K learning experience.

Mazda? I did join aMazda board when I was considering purchasing a 3. I'm glad I went the Subaru route.

The BMW R1150R? Well, I still toy with the idea of purchasing that bike. I was pretty close to buying it, but never found the right bike for the right price and then got talked out of it (by myself and others) due to the motorcycle danger issues.

Boy, it would be great if my girlfriend was as interested in my motor based hobbies as you were. :)
