Boxster a DIY car??? Yeah, either stripped for the track or by an IT person. There's more wires and boxes in my Boxster in the front, in the back and under the seats than I've ever seen on a car. When that stuff goes away (and I caught a passenger seat rubbing on the harness issue that was almost thru the insulation, can you imagine what that would have been like when 20 wires welded into a bundle???!!!), these are going to be monsters.

Yeah, they made and sold 25,000 some odd cars each year from the onset in '97. That has to have something to do with it.

People have been waxing philoshoical for some time now about the direction of Porsche AG. Too big, too greedy, too diversified. Well, I have to agree to the extent that I know about things like this. I don't know how one can have a coveted, fine, estate bottled wine and make 100's of 1000's of cases and sell it everywhere, no matter what the price. Maybe the Boxster thing is the harbinger of things to come. It was the first high production car that brought huge revenues back to the factory when things were pretty slim. Could they have cannibalized their market?

Nice spelling, eh? "philosophical!"
