the only problem with your reasoning is that you and i are not representative of the "most people" that i referred to. what percentage of the population would clean a MAF let alone know what a MAF is and know where to find it? i doubt that 1-in-1000 would know. 1-in-10,000? maybe not even. the times they are a changin'by frogster - Main Forum
QuoteJMstamford,ctI am also not happy about electric cars generally. It is a step toward making them appliances. While I appreciate that - for many - a car is already an appliance, it will never be that way for me. cars have been going that way for a long, long time. when was the last time that most people pulled out a dipstick under the hood to check the level of dinosaur juice in the engineby frogster - Main Forum
QuoteCarreraLicious It’s an easy job, and you can’t really mess it up. I did it years ago on my Boxster, and it was not difficult at all. Go for it! i agree. not a difficult job at all. but the hack is easier stillby frogster - Main Forum
are you talking about the one that detects the handbrake being on or the press-button to raise and lower the top? for the handbrake one, i just defeated it at the relay box so i wouldn't be nanny-ed about having the brake on. i don't know how much of the console needs to be removed to access it. that's what could take time. for the push button, that's a super easy replacement and should take 15by frogster - Main Forum
when i first got my boxster, i was curious about the immobilizer RFID "pill" in the key. i took it out to see how the car would behave when i turned the key. it was exactly as you describe. lights on but no sound at all. no fuel pump, clicks, beeps, buzzes. absolute silence. when i put the pill back in, the car worked normally. just thinking that this might be the cause. something got mixed upby frogster - Main Forum
me too! my wife absolutely loved riding in the boxster. she always wanted the top down. i'll never forget the time we were at a track and i spun the car at around 120 kph, pretty scary. after we came to a stop, i asked here if she was okay. she said "that was great!"by frogster - Main Forum
QuoteSayle I understand the concerns and problems associated with using summer tires in the winter. What are the problems with using winter tires in the summer? the biggest problem with driving winter tires in the summer is that the heat hardens the soft rubber and makes them perform more poorly in the cold.by frogster - Main Forum

This. Exactly. years ago when i had my boxster, there was a gorgeous early december day. dry roads, blue sky sunshine. temp was 10°C (so about 50°F?). Driving along, slowly, about 50KPH (30MPH) and some dickhead comes flying out of a gas station right in front of me. i had to slam on the brakes. The braking performance was abysmal, the ABS engaged and i kept going and going and going. It wasn'tby frogster - Main Forum
QuoteBoxsterra Probably because it's a list of 911 blues. According to this also incomplete article there have been 102 different Porsche blues my MY2000 boxster S was ocean blue. i didn't like the reddish tinge in sunlight. a friend an an '02 boxster that was similar to ocean but without the red. i can't remember the name.by frogster - Main Forum
i've always liked the Gulf blue, with or without the orange stripe. Miami and Etna are in the same vein. my '74 914 was Olympic or something like that. Aga is classy. i love super-dark blues that are nearly black.by frogster - Main Forum

you say that the issue is that the top won't go up now. there's a manual procedure for raising the top. IIRC it's in the owner's manual. someone please correct me if i'm wrong. when the top is in its fully open position, i.e. totally recessed in its cubby hole in back, your windows should go up fully. if they don't then either the top isn't fully retracted or else the switch that tells the systeby frogster - Main Forum

please explain if you have time. i'm curious. the way i see it is that porsche has a race heritage and they make, mostly, sports cars that are capable on a track. tesla doesn't. sure it's good to test a car to its limits to see where the weaknesses are but do you think kia or daihatsu should test their cars on the 'ring?by frogster - Main Forum
