OK, I had a major chuckle a year ago when a bud of mine put his brand new Cayman S in the concours at the 08 PCA Parade. Chuckle came from his inability to open his motor for scrutiny. Judges helped (wrong!) & he won!
Now, I read an article in Pano about the twenty steps it takes to expose your motor in a Boxster. This isn't a joke - it's documented in the current issue of Pano. Look, I know that I'm a bit of a fogey, but 20 steps to expose the motor? Hmm, lemmesee, on my 914 and 911 I pull a single knob & there it is, in all it's easy to maintain beauty! Classic example of why I abandoned new Porsches after 1976. They stopped being enthusiast car. Became built for the lease market in the 90's. Became what the gold chain gang of the 80's did with Bimmers. Sorry for the rant, but that Pano article really set me off. Pat |
