A friend here at work just had his '01 Boxster S engine blow for no reason (on the street). About $15k later, he's got his car back. Yikes!!!

This grumpy old man agrees...add 30 pounds, and that's me. No way, no how, is this a comfortable ride for big guys. Besides, with the 1972 911S now gone, I have vowed to NEVER own a car that would force me to endure Portland Oregon area freeway traffic in order to have it serviced. That pretty much wipes out all the "luxury" brands for me...
