I will miss your stories about the Boxster, but as you said, it was time to move on.
What's the new owner plan to do with it? Spec racer, perhaps?

Enjoy the new rides Marc.
We'll certainly miss hearing of the miles you've piled on your Boxster.
The new cars will certainly be totally different, one with front wheel drive and the other front engine and rear wheel drive. With the two new cars, you shouldn't have to do anything but add gas and drive for quite some time.
How many miles, exactly? Boxsterra - 6 years ago |

funny how these boards are and the acquaintances that you acquire feel like old friends. it's strange knowing that you are porsche-less after having known you on this board and ppbb before it for what seems like a long, long time. i remember your cayman adventure that didn't last very long. i remember your being in europe and us not getting a chance to meet.
i hope that this does not spell the end of your presence here on pb. i have a feeling it won't. good luck marc with your new adventures. and keep in touch!

Think it best to leave. I have really nothing more to offer now I'm no longer driving a Porsche. And if I don't leave all you'll be reading about is what's going on with my two new cars. You'll be sick of that in no time. Yeah, kind of sad to be leaving the Porsche world even if probably only temporarily. Everyone has been just great and I'm left with is just the best memories.
Thanks Marc and Good luck! Indybox - 6 years ago |

I don't think I really have that much to offer any more. My Boxster is a 2002 model and my automotive service/repair experience is even in the more distant past.
And absent any Porsche/Boxster experience going forward I'd fill in the gaps with Challenger/JCW stuff and as anxious as you are to see me stay you would be even more anxious to see me leave after reading me going on and on about my new cars.
But speaking of the Boxster, I still have not gotten the Boxster back from the dealer service department. 'course, I still have the dealer's loaner Macan.
This Macan has a PDK transmission. I was driving the car last night -- to just top up the battery since it has been sitting so long at my house unused -- and I noticed when the transmission up or down shifted -- I was in manual mode at first but even in automatic mode -- the RPMs went up or down very quickly. Was not behaving like I recall a Tip behaves. Got home and looked up the Macan model on line and sure enough it is fitted with a PDK transmission. Finally I got a chance to drive a Porsche with a PDK. Based on my experience with this Macan -- well around 40 miles worth of experience -- I'm kind of liking PDK.
