RIP CS... An incredibly storied life.... My 289 Cobra... and my brothers GT350R and his GT40.... were and are incredible cars. If it were not for the Boxster bug.... I would still be driving a Shelby!by Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
It is the wrong message and could be titled differently.... I cannot tell you how many times I have done something similar...just to get another 30...60....90 minutes of driving in.by Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
I can certainly understand... I took my mistress out for the first time a week or so ago...for a short drive. Today I took her to get her 10,000 mile check up. The dealer fixed a couple of small items... I talked to the Service Manager about a few mods I have in mind.... he gave me a few ideas that he has done... All of which do not invalidate the warranty. Anyway....She is all set and ready to gby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Well....much to our chagrin.....there is more of that white s--t headed our way tonight… This storm will take us into record territory for snow here. I then hear we are in for an “active” weather pattern for the next week or so after that!!!! I wish I could smack old Al upside his head and ask him where the“ Warming” is and hunt down that damn Pennsylvania rodent that predicted Sprinby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Guenter....You are killing me.... More of that white s--t!!! Of course... if we could drive with studs... and did not have to worry about salt eating away at our cars..... I guess winter driving would be a blast....by Dan08BoxS - Main Forum

It actually got warm here last week....the problem the thick layer of caked on salt was insane... I thought real hard about taking her out of storage.... but decided to let the spring rains wash the salt away.... before I do....by Dan08BoxS - Main Forum

I am with you on that! I would much rather cut grass.....do yard work that shovel the White $hit!by Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Hello Everyone... it has been a long….very long….off-season….. and I am suffering from one major case of "I hate winter- itis". It is only the 22nd of February, and here in Chicago….it could be another couple of months of white $hit…..snow and salt!!!! My beautiful mistress is tucked away warm and asleep in the garage… I cannot bring myself to wake her until the warm air melts thby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Hey Isaac! Nice collection. I also did a bit of RC until a friend of mine decided to go nuts with it. He flies 40% fully aerobatic planes and does pro competition.... I guess I got tired of trying to keep up with his endless budget.... The largest I had was 30% Cap 232.....until I watched it as some nimrod turned on his radio which caused my plane to sprial into the ground.... $2k in plane and geby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Hi Pedro! My other hobby is salt water reef keeping... I have had aquariums for years... I found it to be a hobby....more expensive at times that my Porsches..... My wife would say... a lot more expensive. Anyway...it keeps me out of trouble in the dead of wonter.... and relaxes me... I currently have a 72 gallon bow front reef, a 29 gal bio cube reef....and my wife bought me a 8 gal nano tank tby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Thanks Everyone. It is so tough sometimes to make it through winter in Northern Illinois....hell....it is still not even Winter yet.... and we had -2 degree air temp with a -10 wind chill this morning.... Anyway, this is why I love this group. Your posts provided a little humor...I never had my car wink back at me..... and a little solace that I am not the only one who stores their love duringby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
Today the high temp here was 9 degrees....bright and sunny but darn cold. I found myself staring at my Boxster all tucked away.....asleep....waiting for spring to come.... I was dreaming of warm sunny days of topdown driving....listening to that flat-6 symphony... Crap....it is still technically Fall!!! I have no idea how I am going to make it through this winter... Sorry for the outburst..by Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
I saw this in a paper today...and it caught me off a bit. " The Porsche Cayman is down 31%. Porsche hopes the newly introduced Cayman R, featuring Porsche's most-powerful mid-engine, will add a little excitement to boost sales." It kind of struck me odd.... as I have heard a lot of folks belly aching about not being able to find Caymans..... I assumed sales were fairly strong. I saw no mentionby Dan08BoxS - Main Forum
