 Selling my 1999 Porsche Boxster in great color combination.  This is the base model but has some upgrades such as wood trim e-brake and shift knob. parcel shelf and parcel shelf speakers and equalizer/amp.  All leather with power locks and mirrors, abs, four air bags, rims are from a 2007 Cayman.  Tires are Michelin pilot sports.  109000 miles or so total on the clock.  I have owned for three years and have treated it well.  Under my ownership it has gotten a new radiator cap, new fuel filler cap, driver window regulator and just recently a new motor mount.  Previous owner did clutch at around 78k and at that time they did air injection pump, rear main seal, belts etc.  Have receipts for this work.  This porsche drives awesome.  I will list it's flaws which are all minor.

Paint shows it age and needs a good detail. Has some stone chips and some dried sap from being parked under a tree that was shedding it seeds last fall.  This is not particularly noticeable mostly immediately after a wash if you look close. Soft-top is original but in good condition with no rips or leaks, plastic window is clear and intact.  Passenger seat has a 1 inch tear that has not gotten any bigger in the three years I have owned the car.  Slight chip in the wood on the underside of the e-brake handle, not really noticeable.  Tires have some shoulder wear but are strong in the middle.  They are 17's.  The badge on the back of the trunk needs to be replaced, I have new badge just never got around to putting it on. Also have new taillight, not sure why just came with the car.  Includes wheel locks as well. Steering wheel leather is losing it's color at top.  Finally the armrest plastic hinges are broken which means you can just take off the arm rest cover instead of it only rotating up.  This can be good because you can put your coffee mug there!  I know this car inside and out and have done my own maintenance it just got an oil change with new filter and always mobil 1 200 miles ago. 

This boxster drives perfect.  Great suspension, steers great no mechanical issues whatsoever.  I would drive it across the country tomorrow.  The car is a blast to drive and I love putting the top down.  It's issues are all very minor and generally cosmetic and commensurate with a 15 year old car.  I have realized boxster's are the best car for the money by far! 

Needs: There are currently two minor electrical issues.  First is the ever common driver seat belt buckle needs cleaned or replaced and has triggered the airbag light.  This is an incredibly common problem with this generation 911 and boxster.  Second is the keyless needs to be reprogrammed to the car.  I let the key fob go dead for too long it seems and it lost it's synch with the car or so the dealer said to me.  Only have one key.

Porsche designer to head Lamborghini style department

Tue, Mar 1 2016

The winds of change are blowing through the front office in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Not only does Lamborghini have a new chief executive, but not it named a new chief designer as well. And he comes from Porsche. Mitja Borkert is his name, and he's been working in the Porsche design department since 1999. He headed up its advanced design office until 2014 when he was named head of exterior design for the company. The Macan, Cayenne, and the new 987 Boxster were all heavily influenced by his work, as were concepts like the Panamera Sport Turismo and Mission E. As the new director of the Centro Stile at Lamborghini, Borkert takes over from Felippo Perini, who's heading over to run Italdesign – a job that used to belong to Wolfgang Egger. The once-independent design firm was taken over by the Volkswagen Group in 2010, and recently saw its famous founder Giorgetto Giugiaro leave to start another office afresh. The shift in the design office follows hot on the heels of the announcement that longtime CEO Stephan Winkelmann is leaving for Audi's Quattro GmbH, and that former Scuderia Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali is moving in to take his place on the outskirts of Bologna. Considering how different their design approaches are, it will be interesting to see how a longtime Porsche designer applies his skills to Lamborghinis. Will future Raging Bulls go softer and more rounded, or will Borkert have to pull some new tricks out from his sleeve? We'll be watching to find out.

In his new role Mr. Borkert is responsible for the design of future Lamborghini models and the coordination of the design team, reporting to Maurizio Reggiani, Board Member for Research and Development. He succeeds Filippo Perini, who was appointed Design Director of Italdesign. Borkert is German, aged 42, and attended the Design University of Pforzheim where he graduated in Transportation Design. In 1999, he began work at Style Porsche, in Weissach, holding various positions, including General Manager Advanced Design until 2014, when he was appointed Director of Exterior Design. He contributed to the development of several Porsche models (Panamera Sport Turismo, Porsche Boxster 987 facelift, Cayenne, Macan, Mission e).

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
