Quotelongislander1 My only complaint with your earlier post is that I thought it was a little harsh to call him "slow" for a single misspelling. You are 100% right about being harsh. I was being very harsh. But you're wrong about being a single misspelling. He put an ad in the classified section. I jokingly replied pointing out the error and its importance. Then he wrote it again and again, hencby frogster - Main Forum

I had a good laugh 'cause I was thinking to myself how it was important to me that someone spell the name of this car correctly. then i get a PM from another long time member that said "Maybe I put too much into it, but I wonder how well someone could, or would take care of a vehicle if they can't get this right, especially after attention is brought to it." Exactly what I was thinking!!! I repliby frogster - Main Forum
And the typical thing about people like this is that they post but don't even come back and respond to people's replies. Something about this guy that just isn't serious.by frogster - Main Forum
how can anyone take you seriously if you can't even spell the name of the car you're selling?by frogster - Main Forum

QuotePetee_C I come back to my car, and unlock it with the remote, and sometimes it beeps at me, then unlocks. Don't think anyone's messed with the car. this happened to me once and from memory, this beep indicates a detected fault in the system. this is consistent with MarcW's comments.by frogster - Main Forum
all german cars i have ever owned read slightly higher than actual speed. my BMWs read 107 KPH at 100 KPH actual. Boxster was about 4 or 5 over. it is an intentional buffer so that you're always a bit under the limit since speed measured from rubber tires turning can not be exactly right.by frogster - Main Forum
I would guess that you would need to get stainless steel or something that would resist high temp and corrosion or you'll be replacing them every year or two.by frogster - Main Forum
the way i see it is that if it's of general use or interesting to the boxster community here then it's good! great way to meet local ordinances and get what you need. i'd be curious to know how much something like that cost to do. not cheap i bet.by frogster - Main Forum

the problem with water in brake fluid is that as your brake pads get hot from stopping the car, so do the calipers where the brake fluid is in the piston. so when your calipers heat up, so does the brake fluid and any water in it. As the water heats up, it turns to vapor. Liquids, including water, cannot be compressed. Vapor can. so when you press the brake pedal, there is sponginess from compresby frogster - Main Forum

i don't speak a syllable of dutch! it sounds like they're always clearing their throat. i'm always half expecting them to hawk a major loogey at any moment. (hah, i haven't said "hawk a loogey" for about 30 years )by frogster - Main Forum

A few years ago I picked up my X5 from a service. BMW also recommends a two year interval for brake fluid flushing. As usual, I take a look around the car and in the engine compartment. I looked at the cap on the brake fluid reservoir and it was dusty. First, one should clean the cap before opening it and second, if you open it, you will leave marks in the dust. The service book was stamped for tby frogster - Main Forum

it's only a matter of time before speed limits are imposed throughout germany. already about one-third of the autobahn have 100 KPH speed limits and the other two-thirds have so much traffic that you can't do much faster than that anyway. it's just a fact of modern society. it's over.by frogster - Main Forum

ABS, probably one of the best technologies invented for cars. Airbags. Pre-tensioning seat belts. satellite navigation with a dose of common sense thrown in is great. killer audio and telephone with spoken commands, fantastic. but i've always found that the automatic wipers aren't that smart in determining when to wipe. it's been a while since i've tried them but a few years ago i thought theyby frogster - Main Forum

QuoteMarcWIn one case the writer/driver was steering the car through a very sharp/high speed turn and the PDK upshifted in the middle of the turn. Upshifting in the middle of a turn, especially one being taken at speed and so on is generally considered a 'no no' due to the risk of the driver when shifting upsetting the car's balance at a very inopportune time. But the PDK did the shift so seamlesby frogster - Main Forum
