Replying to: wild1poet2 (Nov 11, 2005 2:18 pm) What is the ground clearance on a Boxster? Of course, you're not going to drive it through a foot of snow, but what is the point at which it turns into a plow? (roughly speaking: 2 inches, 4 inches, 6 inches?)

Replying to: blacktalon (Nov 21, 2005 9:08 pm) Please note that I use a real ruler to measure by. For some reason in Washington DC, they can't measure correctly. I've heard weather reports claiming we have 4" on the ground and my grass is still showing in spots. Perhaps the weathermen have an insecurity about what 6" really looks like. And they close schools on the (often incorrect) forecast of snow. If my hometown were that wimpy, I'd still be in grade school. Sorry, I digress. |

TOOK DELIVERY OF MY 2005 BOXSTER IN MAY 2005, AND HAVE PUT ABOUT 11,500 MILES ON IT. I'M HEARING A CONSTANT PINGING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE WHEN ACCELERATING. DROVE SEVEN MONTHS W/93 OCTANE BP, AND RECENTLY CHANGED TO 93 OCTANE CHEVRON. BUT HAVE SAME PROBLEM. PORSCHE MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP SAID THE KNOCK SENSORS DON'T SHOW ANY PROBLEM ON HIS COMPUTER. WHAT TO DO? SHOULD I IGNORE PROBLEM AND DRIVE OUT THE REST OF MY WARRANTY WITH THE TOP DOWN WHEN I CAN'T HEAR THE PINGING! ANY ONE HAS AN IDEA WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE DETONATION OR PINGING PROBLEM? THANKS SO MUCH, JBG31792

I am interested in purchasing a 1993 Porsche 928 GTS. I found one with 50k miles on it and I have yet to inspect the vehicle. Are there any specific mechanical issues that I should be aware of while inspecting the vehicle? Does anyone know about the reliability of this model? Can anyone recommend a good Porsche mechanic in the Los Angeles area? Thank you.

Andy, you've had some great cars. Bet you wish you still had the GTO.

Replying to: wild1poet2 (Jan 25, 2006 12:11 pm) Well not exactly, the GTO was a great car for an age of cheap gas but driving a car that gets 12mpg at best is problematic in an era of gas costing over &2.50/gal.

Replying to: wild1poet2 (Jan 29, 2006 10:28 am) I see your point. They're really getting silly money for them now although I doubt mine would pull down the six figures some of the rarer setups are pulling down. |
