Re: As Etta James sang so eloquently, at last...

It seems (knock on wood) my long Boxster saga may be over. For those of you following it, my replacement engine went into the car a few months ago after the engine died on I-95 and I waited for the indy I use here in DC to finish rebuilding other cars to get to me. There were a number of minor things that needed to be done after that -- sensors, fuel line clearings, etc. The only remaining problem was tremendous vibration because of damage to the tires from sitting in one place for a couple of years. Today I replaced those front tires and, with luck, my 130,000 mileage '01 base with an 80,000 mileage engine will be with me for a while.

Am driving it from D.C. down to the ocean this weekend to blow out the dust.

Enjoy. Drop the top as it should be in the mid 60s this weekend here in DC.
