Thanks. wet dry vacuumed, and have been rotating micro fiber towels in seems and where damp. It rained like heck for several hours overnight, the car cover with the lightweight plastic table cloth underneath kept water from seeping in. Rain should be over in a few hours, will try to access the engine skirt with the helpful guidance that has been posted. Thanks a bunch : )by ace1 - Main Forum

Heavy rainfall overnight, noticed condensation on rear plastic window, reached behind drivers seat and it is completely soaked. History is convertible top transmission failing so we decided to wait till spring to tear it down and replace since it is expensive and won't be using top until summer, however when I brought it into the shop yesterday the top would not go down, so the tech pulled the cby ace1 - Main Forum
just picked up car last night, only bumper damage, had it repaired along with new bumperettes went through insurance, cost me my deductible, no penalty to my insurance.... covered the rental and only lost three days. happy car looks normal again (so dislike it when people let their cars go to heck)....by ace1 - Main Forum
I had an appraisal completed by a body shop that I was referred to by my favorite Porsche approved body shop (they no longer work on older vehicles) I was told not nearly bad enough damage for a new bumper, given an estimate of 800.00 for repair/repaint and if there was any damage under the structure it could be significantly more.......

According to the neighbor who heard the crash, and looked out the window the individuals in the truck were Hispanic, and were playing loud hispanic music. she did not notice my vehicle as it was out of her line of sight and did not call the authorities. They were laughing and throwing glass beer bottles into the dumpsters -by ace1 - Main Forum
Thanks for the advise. I will swing it by my favorite Porsche approved collision repair facility and see what they have to say. I was hoping for an easy fix, but am very pleased that it appears to be limited to the rear bumper. Looks like the thing did its job and absorbed the impact rather well.by ace1 - Main Forum
One of my neighbors apparently had a construction crew from across the border doing some work in their townhouse, they were kind enough to drive into my Boxster in the middle of the night leaving it there for me to find the next morning..... pushed it 3 ft up in its parking space (was in neutral) destroyed by car cover and severely cracked my rear bumper, left their license plate holder and all tby ace1 - Main Forum

Have not posted in years though I have followed this board off and on since the purchase of my Boxster. I still have the car, 70,000 miles and she has now become my daily driver! I really love this little car. I finally decided it was time for another car though, fell in love with a low mileage 2013 Carrera 911 S Cab, she will be the new garage queen. I now have two cars....by ace1 - Main Forum

Said not to stress, water pump fine, fan's fine, exhaust fine..... gave her a wash and sent her home. Said if noise gets worse (service manager heard it, but wouldn't duplicate for mechanic) to bring her back. thinks perhaps the exhaust might be starting to demonstrate some wear but nothing but noise.... good news, but wish I knew what was causing the sputter. bad news, being stuck at the deaby ace1 - Main Forum
