My wife just replaced her 2010 SLK with a 2014 and was saying the 2014 felt a lot bigger than the 2010 so I looked up the specs on her SLK models and my current and probable 2015 Boxster. The Boxster is bigger according to the dimensions, especially in length (I actually checked with a measuring tape). But the SLK looks a lot bigger because they pile a lot more stuff in the allotted space as provby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

If there is a new, or revived, group of drivers in the Mid-Atlantic region I will ride along if invited.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
Well, I gave it a try to see if there was any residual interest in ESBB. Maybe we just should say that there were some great runs and RIP ESBBby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

How about a less aggressive ESBB restart. Maryland is a long way from Allentown where our only other drive candidate lives. I propose the Windmill Restaurant location below and a drive to lunch in Lancaster county. If we can agree on the date (4/26), the location to meet and we have a quorum then we can decide on where to go from there. Otherwise we can try this again later someday.

Our driving route in Greece with Greek spellings of the locations.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
More than a decade ago (2000) my wife, daughter and I drove around the Peloponnisos in Greece (seeing Mecina, Malavasia, Sparta, Tripoli and Olympia). The roads to and from Olympia were especially treacherous, curvy and carved into mountain slopes. They had no guard rails, just occasional make shift alters to those that had gone over the edge. The most treacherous part of the drive was from Olympby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

Yesterday I exchanged emails with a board member (eicheldp) who lives in Allentown PA. It go me thinking about "Eastern Shore Boxster Buddies" with members in Reading, the Lehigh Valley, NYC, MD etc. It is a nice time of the year for a drive.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

I would like to pass it on to someone who really wants it rather than the dealer. My warranty expires in Sept 2015 so I would make a move around then. Maybe I will configure and order my next car from the factory, probably some version of metallic brown. So far the newer brownish colors I've seen on the Porsche web site are not as good as the Macadamia Metallic. My car currently has 8300 miles onby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

The Porsche NA lady said that the newer cars with more electronic stuff were more demanding on the battery. For my model year (2012) she said life expectancy is 2-3 years (Wow). I had a 2008 and never had a problem so I wouldn't do any prep work on the possibility of your battery dying, just deal with it when and if it happens.

I decided to call Porsche Customer Service to discuss my battery problem and warranty. The lady was very knowledgeable and has convinced me that now that I am retired and driving less I need to use a battery maintainer. She said I should be driving on average 50 miles a day/6000 mile a year to keep the battery healthy. She asked me what I paid for the new battery and I gave the $350 figure I paidby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
I never looked at the battery to see if it was maintenance free or not. I took it in for service every year and assumed I did not have to worry about such things. In regards to using a battery maintainer, I use them on my 74 MGB and my lawn tractor but I drive the Boxster constantly (about every 2 or 3 days) so it is impractical. I was also thinking that had I replaced the battery myself there mby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
My battery died for no reason and I had driven the car the day before. My 2012 Boxster is in third year of warranty so after Porsche road side assistance gave me a jump I drove straight to the dealer without turning off the ignition. They tested it and found no shorts or anything except that the battery was dead. Then they told me that it wasn't covered by my warranty, the warranty on the batteryby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
