Priceless Pedro...Best pic of the year!!!!!- This is what Christmas is all about Merry Christmas to all.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
I would wait until the spring. I have always believed that Depreciation trumps Motivation. Deprecation is quantitative and Motivation if fickle at best....and one more thing, I would not procure the 1st model year...I would wait for a 2014. There... I feel better. Thanksby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Hi, Sorry for your loss Marc. I too carried my Dad home (Florida to Canada). I still remember going through customs and they asked me if I had anything to declare?.."of course", I stated proudly...'My Dad" I still think about my Dad quite often. Especially when my wife says..."you remind me your Dad" I always respond "Gee Thanks" The memories will last a lifetime!by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuotePedro (Weston, FL) Very few units left. Beautiful timepieces. Happy Porscheing Pedro I sent a letter off to Santa...I will let everyone know on the 25th I believe..I believe...by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteGuenter in Ontario QuoteLeor ('09S, North of Boston) Hmmm, looks like the fuse I replaced, marked as "cigarette lighter", A10, is labeled as "dipped beam headlight" in your chart. So, not the same... I believe they change the fuse locations from time to time. In fact, the 981 now has 2 fuse boxes - driver's side and passenger's side. It must be a new strategy by Porsche..."lets see now...by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteLaz n/t .....even though both need keys to let you in?...sounds like a great debate to me! Great Pic Guenter!by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
You sure had me going Marc...I was thinking ..umm loose belt or bearings??by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteSteve (Morro Bay) Now that my battery is back in good shape, would I do harm to the car by experimenting with one or two push-start attempts on a hill? I do it just for fun...and like Guenter stated..you will never know when you need to do it. BTW ...Make sure you pick a down hill.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Quotejlegelis My 17 year old daughter just learned to drive, and insisted on learning stick on my BMW as prelude to my Boxster. She's very proud of her new skill, even her friends think its 'cool'... Both of my kids ..now in their early 20ties 1st learned and got their license on a Lexus RX330 with the availability of a Honda Civic 5 speed coupe. At first they loved the Lexus..I think it was thby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
I have a 2006 Boxster S with 46K miles and have not changed my plugs yet...I know I brought this up last year however I just couldn't do it...no issues, the P car is running great. A fellow Porsche friend has a 2005 Boxster S with similar mileage and changed his plug to find out that all or some of the coils cracked due to heat stress according to the Dealer ..Should I expect to find the same cby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteEricG I can vouch for what most of the members here said (except for the NJ folks editorial by Bruce )... I got my Boxster not only across country and sight unseen, but across border from the US to Canada. It is a risky proposition, but not unachievable. When I bought mine, we proceeded in this order: 1- Find the car in my price range with my desired colors, options and model. 2- Talkedby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteGuenter in Ontario n/t That also goes for the Cayman and the 911s ....except for the Turbo and Gts....just incase anyone is interested.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteRainyDayGarage Guess TPMS may be a "nice to have" feature, but for those of us who have grown accustomed to the quick visual check of the tires before getting into the car, it is something that we would still do even if we had TPMS :-) It is very much like the electronic oil dip stick..do you really trust it..."show me the money"by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteMarcW That poor 911. But the Boxster's owner has a nasty job ahead cleaning his car of all the gore. Does anyone know if the car was repaired?...and was the driver injured?by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
It certainly was a great weekend Guenter, Looks like you and the better half had a great ride. Donna and I were up in Kawartha Lakes splashing around!! I love Canada in the summer time!! Topless happening regardless what the sport may beby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteGary in SoFL Excellent choice or the CS over the BS, otherwise known as the Cayman rag top Gary: What came first...the Chicken or the egg? Let me help you: Boxster S: 2000 Cayman S : 2006by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteGuenter in Ontario I'm more inclined to use the heated seat function at those temperatures, instead. You will never be able to try that feature at that temperature, because at 32 F, you are not supposes to put down the top....so it will stay a myth until this equation is proven false: Guenter=Toplessby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
I will check that.. Thank-you.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Thanks Pedro! I love using alligator clips.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Is there a way to add an outlet in the Frunk of my 987S Boxster? I bought an electrical cooler and I would like to use it on longer trips??by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
How did you find the length of the shift throws compared to your 987's? (I know, another question. ) Good Question Guenter. I did not notice the difference...maybe because of the positioning..It did feel different, neither good nor bad...just different....I don't remember the throws being an obvious observation.by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteGuenter in Ontario Mike, I noticed you didn't mention anything about the manual, what difference did you find in the position, action and throw of the 981 shifter compared to the 987? Sorry for the delay Guenter...I was just rereading your comments and realized there was a question there...how dopey of me The shifter is in a higher position than the 987 and it felt very comfortable veryby BLKBOXS - Main Forum

Quotedb997S Love that color, why would anybody want silver, when you can have a color like that one? Oh No...not the color debate. MIKELLIGby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
What a great video...thanks for sharing ....time for another test-drive..I think they are showing up in July ....right??by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
QuoteGary in SoFL It didn't have a MANual transmission. Yes it did Gary. Very smooth and effortless...I Drove a 991S with MANual 7 speed last summer and it felt identical...very smooth and effortless...I was one of the things I wasn't sure that I really liked? It almost felt too good..if there is such a thing.....I am sure I would get over it though. MIKELLIGby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
I asked if he/she want to race for pink slips but the owner was too shy and wouldn't come out of his/her***?? shell.... *** how can you tell anyway? MIKELLIGby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
I needed to know what all the hubbub was all about in regards the new 981S Manual VS 987S Manual. . Well on the beauteous day in Southern Ontario, sunny & 68 degrees F my wife and I went to a dealership around an hour away to drive a new 981S. Now I had a ride in Guenters 981s and it was very nice, however as a passenger you feel ...well like a passenger. This is the 981S I drove with 42.0by BLKBOXS - Main Forum
Excellent pics Guenter.. Thank for sharing...especially for P-Folks who could not make it. Mikeby BLKBOXS - Main Forum
