Not certain which tires you have but most for the Boxster are directional, meaning, you cannot rotate them. Due to camber, tires on these cars do wear from the inside out, especially the rears. It is not easy to notice because the tread looks fine on the outside. You have to reach in to check the treads on the inside because the outside 2/3 of the tire look almost new while the inside 1/3 to 1by db997S - Main Forum
Those things will blind other drivers on a sunny day. Shinny. Interesting that they are solid, too. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.by db997S - Main Forum
The Boxster didn't get DFI until 2010. The IMS was gone in 2009, but the 911 had DFI in 2009, the Boxster, the following year. Lots to keep track of with how Porsche changes, er, evolves their vehicles.by db997S - Main Forum
No, didn't go to the track. Washed and waxed my car yesterday. As I was buffing the wax off a bird decided to use my front hood as target practice. In my 45 or so years of washing and waxing vehicles, don't think a bird has ever gotten me that quickly. Luckily, I always start with the front hood so the wax was already buffed away.by db997S - Main Forum
Porsche Racingby db997S - Main Forum
reminds me when I was a kid back in the 70s, my friends and I used to ride our bikes to the local auto parts stores (two within easy riding distance for preteens) to see how many stickers they'd give us. Get the STP, AC Delco Spark Plug, Penzoil, Fram Oil Filters, etc. Used to plaster them all over our school textbook covers, which our mom's made out of paper grocery bags. So, they were in neeby db997S - Main Forum
My wife's 2020 Prius has lane assist and blind spot. I like them both. If you use the turn signal, lane assist doesn't engage. If you drift out of your lane, it does. The blind spot has saved my once or twice. That being said, the button thing is annoying. I've said it here before, I got a Panamera loaner once and didn't see how to turn the radio on or off. Had to simply turn the volume alby db997S - Main Forum

I did the same, but hit the highway, not Porsche roads. Went for pickup at a restaurant 45 miles from my house that is 95% highway. Got oil temp up to about 190 and couple of times the RPMs to 4K. Really wanted to stretch the legs and charge the battery. Weird being on the highway after two months of teleworking. I have driven it around town a bit, but not really enough to let everything woby db997S - Main Forum

Me, I'd continue with the sliver and black theme. Keep the calipers black, but maybe find some silver lettering instead of white.by db997S - Main Forum

450 miles away from 66,666 set the trip meter to zero when I was 666 miles from that mark. Hope to remember to snap a pix. Need to get on the highway and hit 66 mph was they both flip to all 6s.by db997S - Main Forum

Deer do come out of know where. Was behind a car once that hit a deer. Luckily for the driver, the deer saw the car and tried to leap over it, but the windshield still got it. No front-end damage. But, man, I never saw the deer until it was in the air, after being hit. They just come out of nowhere in wooded areas. Glad, you are safe. Cars and be repaired/replaced.by db997S - Main Forum

not much social distancing in that piece. Also, if I had a dollar for every time I've heard the phrase: "in these uncertain times," I'd be driving a used 918 Spyder and self-isolating on my own beach.by db997S - Main Forum
