  1. I am from the opinion that knowing the size of your car is an essential step to get familiar with it, and the easiest and safest way to develop that is through parallel parking. The parking sensors are, in my opinion, something you get used to and, although convenient (and annoying - my perception), make you less in-touch with your car... But again...it is a matter of personal opinion... Thanks, Gus I agree with Gus. Plus, if you have them in one car, and not in a different car, this can cause a little false sense of security or potential for user error. My daily driver (Explorer) has the back-up warning and parking aid. I like it. But, need to be carefull when driving a rental car or the Boxster, that does not have it.
  2. I am using the new Michelin Blades (I think they are called "Arches", not sure) on my Ford Explorer. These are the best blades I have ever used. Great on snowy days...no snow & ice build up, since the blade is just a single solid piece. No openings. And, no "lift" off the glass at highway speeds. Not cheap. They were about $18 each at Wal*Mart.
  3. You can remove them, but then you will have 2 holes in the rear bumper! :o
  4. Dealerships get a lower labor rate for warranty work (maybe $100-$120/hr.) vs what you and I pay ($150-$200).
  5. If it were my car, I would want to make sure it was shipped in a covered/enclosed carrier. Congrats on the new car!
  6. It was my experience that most dealerships only required a $500-$1,000 deposit. And you can put it on most credit cards. A 5% deposit sounds steep, but not surprising.
  7. I ordered my 2006 Boxster S in August of 2005. The car was a January build allocation. The car shipped in February, and I picked it up in March of '06. I negotiated a deal that was 10% below MSRP. The MSRP was $67K.
  8. I think the PSE is great. http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...ymanperformance
  9. All of these work for the Cayman: http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesands.../cayman/wheels/
  10. Drive it more! And get the entire system up to temp. Aren't our exhaust stainless steel? They rust?
  11. Go to the dealership, you are under warranty still, I hope.
  12. Simon, you should call them on Monday morning, or send them an e-mail. Try www.sunsetporsche too for better pricing.
  13. Simon says to get these!: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...y_Code=996exttr
  14. That's freaking crazy! :P Why not just put the battery under the hood. Room issues? Or under the rear seat like some MB's.
  15. You can have 3 different levels; over, under or full. And only one of these is the correct amount- full. I would want the rigth level in my car.
  16. Do owners have to remove the drivers seat in a Cayenne to access the battery? Or does it tilt/slide out of the way?
  17. Get a PPI done from a non-selling dealership or Porsche qualified shop, before proceeding.
  18. Way too many stickers! Any wax build-up one the edges will look aweful.
  19. I think the Zeintop is in the USA already. There was a guy posting pictures of his car (one of the first) over on the www.986forum.com.
  20. Don't worry about how good or how bad the deal was. Too late now. Just enjoy the nice ride! :)
  21. Did not know that. Thanks, learn something new every day. Still, strange place to put a battery.
  22. Why not just buy a high quality replacement battery for the OEM. Putting one under the driver's seat does not sould very safe in the unlikely event of an accident.
