QuoteKinnick4Ever Welp, after further "discussions" with my spouse (she loves the S for short-term drives but otherwise feels its uncomfortable), I have notified the dealership that I am too conflicted to pull the trigger. PDK a factor in this, as are the 18-way seats. Right car, right price ... it's surely out there, somewhere, possibly even in 911 form. You could always come over the “dark sby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
PDK would be a non starter for me. Good luck in your decision though.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Yeah, but original poster said he has a 2000 model year.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
I wouldn’t update the IMS unless I was in there anyway for a clutch job. As you know, I had my 01 986 for 17 yrs and never changed the IMS. The car went to a friend and now the clutch does need to be replaced (it was on its way out when I sold it to him), and I think he will change the IMS or do a direct oil feed when he changes the clutch out. I just think the cost/benefit is not worth it. Ifby CarreraLicious - Main Forum

Hey Ed, I have Bridgestone Potenzas on my 997, and like them a lot. Hope you are doing well down there in FL!by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Good for you JM. It was really nice out. We need photos though.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Cause the 4 bangers sound like Subarus maybe?by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
QuotePedro (Odessa, FL) QuoteCarreraLicious Nice shot. Where is WNC though? I'm going to guess that WNC is probably to the West of E North Carolina. Happy Boxstering, Pedro Ah, ok...odd. Have never seen that before....indicating a region of NC.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum

Going into my 3rd week without driving her. Going into withdrawal. LOL.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Nice! Easy to do 150+ in a 992! Did you rent in manual?by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Nice collection. Agree...blue and tan is awesome. Hopefully, Spring weather will come soon!by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
I feel the same. I actually drive my car all throughout winter, but with the recent snowfall, too much salt and cold temps don’t make for fun driving, so it’s tucked in the garage for another weekend. Can’t wait till it rains to clear up all the salt, and I’ll be taking her out again. Memories of summer: Reality of winter...can only drive my mini version:by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Ok, I see how it is not worth the trouble. I’m sure the other advantages of living where you are greatly outweigh the negatives.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Oh, I see now. I think Frogster needs to move to Ontario to enjoy the nice roads and cold weather then.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Ah, ok. I don’t think you’ll have a been there done that feeling once you fire up that flat 6 again and drive it a few minutes...I certainly don’t each time I get to take my Pcar out, but I hear ya. Maybe they have something like a PCC (Porsche Club of Canada?) there, the members could steer you towards a good mechanic? These cars are really easy to work on for basic things like oil changesby CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Wow, below freezing inside your garage! Remind me to not go to Canada in the winter months. LOL.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Nice!...yeah, can’t wait till Spring. Here’s my headgear...by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Hope everyone can get out and drive. ...or post a pic.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
I was talking to Frogster. You did good.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
You should come back into the fold. The 986 and 987 line are super reasonably priced now in the used markets. What are you waiting for?by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Yes, same Dennis in SE PA. He also had a 350Z I think in between.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
I don’t think they offered Midnight Blue as a standard color in 01. My guess is that his is Ocean or Lapis blue with Savannah.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
You’re thinking of Dennis in SE PA. He had the Boxster SE that had failed IMS and then moved to a Mustang and then a Cayman.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
Congrats. You got the best color combo.by CarreraLicious - Main Forum
