does my butt look fat? Steve (Iowa) - Saturday, 24 August, 2013, at 9:53:33 am	400
Honestly, it looks the other way around. Good to see others doing a GT. *NM* Laz - Saturday, 24 August, 2013, at 10:11:52 am	66
Best long-distance drivers I've ever had. Steve (Iowa) - Saturday, 24 August, 2013, at 10:41:17 am	55
Had a flat in Del Mar, but it turned into a pleasant experience Laz - Saturday, 24 August, 2013, at 10:55:31 am	59
sounds like great luck. may all our flats happen next door to auto repair places! *NM* Steve (Iowa) - Sunday, 25 August, 2013, at 10:09:28 am	44
So you're riding on a plugged or patched tire, Laz? *NM* Gary in SoFL - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 9:12:17 am	52
It's plugged and patched, and there's been nothing to diminish my confidence in the tire's safety. *NM* Laz - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 9:39:55 am	48
Good...cause I don't want to lay awake at night, worrying about your safety *NM* Gary in SoFL - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 10:34:10 am	48
Thank you for your concern. A balloon ride might come off my to do list. Laz - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 11:19:59 am	49
Re: does my butt look fat? db997S - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 8:03:05 am	57
The fatness has more to do with vertical dimension of the tail. Laz - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 9:38:22 am	46
There's a little bit of an optical illusion going on in that shot, too. Laz - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 9:59:18 am	94
Plus, there's a boatload of barrel distortion Roger987 - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 7:48:49 pm	51
As they're both distorted about the same amount, a comparison can still be made. Laz - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 8:32:17 pm	94
interesting. it was actually cropped from a larger frame. Steve (Iowa) - Tuesday, 27 August, 2013, at 1:29:42 am	50
Your original question is still worthy of discussion. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 27 August, 2013, at 7:59:41 am	49
Boxster's worst feature, yes, butt Bobtesa - Tuesday, 27 August, 2013, at 5:45:59 am	62
Paisley would break up the apparent mass. Laz - Tuesday, 27 August, 2013, at 8:03:36 am	70
Nice, I'll special order paisley for my next Boxster *NM* Bobtesa - Tuesday, 27 August, 2013, at 8:05:54 am	46
also saw this other sweet red ride on my trip, just outside of santa cruz Steve (Iowa) - Tuesday, 27 August, 2013, at 9:20:04 am	63

Effect of extra pressure on wide tires? Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - Wednesday, 28 August, 2013, at 9:54:50 am	338
I am confused. Are you running substantially over the recomended pressure? grant - Wednesday, 28 August, 2013, at 12:21:31 pm	53
Others have mentioned toe as an inner/center/outer wear factor. *NM* Laz - Wednesday, 28 August, 2013, at 12:51:39 pm	52
Compromises ride, handling, increases tire wear. What else? Oh wastes air. *NM* MarcW - Wednesday, 28 August, 2013, at 3:09:16 pm	61
Reasons for my question... Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - Wednesday, 28 August, 2013, at 9:05:57 pm	87
Don't beat yourself up too much, or Roger987 - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 7:48:41 am	55
There are two things you can do that will have the most impact on tire life.... MarcW - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 9:31:10 am	77
Agree that toe is the most important variable. grant - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 12:24:32 pm	54
Remember alignment settings are set with the car stationary so when the car is under way... MarcW - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 2:29:14 pm	61
One or more of the Italian exotics sets their fronts at zero toe, for better or worse. *NM* Laz - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 3:26:55 pm	51
Depends upon the firmness of the bushings up there. Depends upon a lot of things, actually. MarcW - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 5:24:53 pm	53
Or to dial out some safety for performance... treadwear may not suffer here if done properly. *NM* Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 5:49:48 pm	56
Very good point. And that explains why i actually have a very, very small % toe in :-) grant - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 4:44:33 pm	53
My guess is that extra air will not help much (read my original reply) grant - Thursday, 29 August, 2013, at 12:23:18 pm	97

Dear Mr. 911 owner: Are you referring to my Boxster as lawn equipment? *NM* Bobtesa - Monday, 26 August, 2013, at 7:29:32 pm	129
