The week of 4/21, my 996 had some rough moments when starting it cold. I called my local mechanic and he asked me have it flat bedded to the shop on 4/24. IMS needed to be replaced but had not completely failed. Then it rained in Pensacola. A lot!

I can't say I understand the comments on this topic, but that probably doesn't matter. I can say that after being away for a (long) while, today is Friday and I didn't see a scan day thread.

RE: Nurburgring, I've heard there are spotters who take pictures and turn you in for violating the rental contract. RE: Cameras, I got a $27 processing fee from Avis last year after a trip. I've been told that when they swipe my passport in the Frankfurt airport in May, I'll get the details and fine for my speed camera violation. We'll see.by Richard H in Pcola - Main Forum

Thanks. I'll follow both of the paths suggested.by Richard H in Pcola - Main Forum
I think I can still search what remains of that other Boxster site, but does the archive still work? I pull handle twice and door sticks (not a cab) sometimes, but not always. I seem to recall a cable problem is common ... Good responses won't get attacks with profanity, vulgarity, pornography, religion, politics and personal issuesby Richard H in Pcola - Main Forum
