It's rare that I get really good news from a mechanic, but turns out the axle boots they used WERE non-OEM and supposedly "better." The Indie called the manufacturer, got the whole story, and they agreed to ship them two brand new OEM axles and install them for free.by hoppy44 - Main Forum
Thanks for the feedback. I called the service manager today and he seemed to reiterate exactly what was said the day I was in there, but you're right that there could have been a miscommunication at that point. It's such a strange dynamic because at the dealer, they are *incredibly* polite and patient and professional and seem to have their act together. Meanwhile at the Indie, it's a father-sonby hoppy44 - Main Forum

Actor’s $12 Million Dollar Apartment comes with Free Fully Loaded Porsche (Really) Actor Christopher Meloni is really making it hard to resist his 3 bedroom home in the sky currently for sale in Manhattan. That’s because Mr. Meloni (Best known for his decade long stretch as Eliot on NBC’s Law & Order, SVU) is throwing in a brand new 2013 Porsche Panamera with the purchase of the apartby hoppy44 - Main Forum
Thanks Marc, I appreciate the feedback. I'll look into all of those things. To answer your questions... I live in New York City/Northeast. Not dedicated to one brand but always get premium gas. And as far as my driving style, because I'm in the city, it's almost always stop&go -> road trip -> stop&go. Only track use was BRBS last year. I have fun every time I drive the car, but amby hoppy44 - Main Forum
Hi everyone... 2nd post in a row but wanted to keep the topics separate. I've held off getting a GPS system (and a radar detector for that matter) on my '03 Boxster S for the past few years for two reasons... I hated the thought of cluttering the small 'cockpit' of our amazing cars with wires and plugs and windshield suction cups, and have always been pretty well off with printed out Google Mapsby hoppy44 - Main Forum
Hi all I have a 2003 Boxster S with 62k miles and have been having this problem for a bit now. When driving at highway speeds (60-80mph) during a trip (but not every trip), almost always in 5th gear, the car will do a quick hiccup/hesitate, the CEL will blink once or twice for no more than a second or two, and then everything goes completely back to normal. It doesn't do it every trip, and theby hoppy44 - Main Forum
Just got an email from Porsche announcing this: God love their engineering but does anyone else think they're overthinking things in the marketing department? First of all, they only had 3 models... Boxster, 911, and Cayenne. Why the heck did they go with Cayman? Seriously?!?! There are 50 billion words in the universe... you have three models, one of which starts with Cay... and for yourby hoppy44 - Main Forum

Busch was test driving a bright yellow 2012 Lexus LFA high performance sports car valued at around $400,000 when pulled over. His lawyer argued that Busch did what most people would do with that type of automobile... seeing how fast it would go.by hoppy44 - Main Forum
