with standard tires didn't miss a beat even in places where there was
serious slush.

Is it hard to drive a 2007 Porsche Boxter in heavy Santa Monica
traffic?  I'm inquiring about the 6 speed manual version.  I'm good at
driving a car with a manual but every manual trasmission car is
different.  Is it difficult to inch along in heavy traffic with such a

Hi everybody, I am driving a 911 (996 C4 10/01). I heard about  engine
problems once the car has made more Km 80.000. Is anybody aware of this
problem? I a from Italy and it looks like this problem is happening
quite often. Thanks to everybody

Found one that looks pretty good. Engine sounded good and ran well too.
Needs a new battery and tires from what I could tell. Quoting $ 4,000
for it, and I dunno what to do.
The trader didn't know how big the engine was. I thought it was 2.7

i'm car novice, so bare with me (if my question may seem stupid)
my question is drivetrains: hypothetically, if one was blind-folded behind
the wheel of various sportscars....

Where have you's guys been buying your tune-up parts?  I was getting
them from eurowebparts, but they seem to be having problems with their
site (and I've emailed them with no response).  They were nice and
cheap, since they were only a warehouser middleman.

Went looking up a used 1989 944 that had clocked 84000 km. The owner's
quoting $5,400. I took it for a spin around the block and the engine
felt ok though the wheel alignment/balancing appeared off.

went off lease, and have been suffering Porscheless since then. Lately
I am getting a bit of an itch for another 928, but not quite to the

I have an elderly 911 about which I've been informed (at her latest
annual inspection - she is really a she, tempermental but when she's on
the ball, oh boy - is everything fantastic or what! But... when she's
