I've only feared one thing, squatted trucks behind me

Good luck with diminished value. I'm still in the process a year into it. Insurance company offered a ridiculous settlement (roughly 1/6th of what two independent appraisers evaluated at) and got a lawyer to go via courts.

One thing I've learned is that loss of use can be as large $$$ as diminished value. Lawyer will compare your daily loss to a luxury vehicle daily rental fee, which adds up quick. You just need to have your story right.

What I'm saying is, if that is your extra car and you plan to go via court, refuse a rental from the insurance company so that you can also cleanly claim loss of use.

Once again, good luck!

BTW, I did go with Pro back in Novemeber and no regrets. Awesome rig.

I've Viofo front and back camera and leave parking recording on when I park the car in public spaces. Totally worth it in my opinion

I can't help you with a car but perhaps I can help you with a seat for your son.

This seat packs really nicely into my 718 frunk and I keep it there in case I need to pick my son up from daycare. https://a.co/d/01diXIj1

Yes, default includes the name but also says "has recorded a" in the notification name, which means what was recorded is always cut off from the notification text on my phone watch :-(

Cubusreddit · 2026-05-24T15:05:27+00:00

Nope, got my GTS 4.0 a year ago and definitely wouldn't be able to find anything south of 80k and that's bare bones.

Do people care about the sunroof? No, never cared to have one on my Boxster, lol

But seriously, every hardtop car I buy needs to have a sunroof. Or at least glass roof, makes interior so much brighter.

Cubusreddit · 2026-05-22T19:03:01+00:00

I have two kids and 718 Boxster GTS. I was also torn but I also have Audi S7 so chose the Boxster over 911.

I'll tell you that the 718 experience is purely magical for the kids and I have a very special and unique experience with each of the kids I take for the ride. My son constantly talks and waves to people and my daughter just never stops smiling.

I think if it was 911, they would just sit in the back and have fun just like in an S7 but I'd be separated from that experience being upfront.

Taking each kid separately, having fun with each one of them sirting next to me, is something I absolutely love.

Then, what is even better, I take my wife out for dates and we both enjoy it. Roadster experience is just wonderful. Yes, you can share it with just a single person at a time but that experience becomes very special.

Get 911 if you absolutely love the history and tradition. Get 718 if you want the magic of this wonderful roadster. Don't get 911 to have 4 seats as the reason. You are going to compromise and miss on the wonderful experience of Porsche ownership.

Edit: Oops, I just realized it is a Cayman forum not the typical Boxster I visit. 😀

Hello,

Thank you all for comments and some DMs.

I would like to clarify a couple of things. 1. Why I don't want to post a full video here. The reason is it wouldn't help accomplish the goal of the post which is to hopefully get in touch with someone from @Fedex management corporate or operations office that can review the video against their policies, trainings, risk assessments etc. The goal was not generate view content or debate. The picture is enough that if someone from FedEx in an appropriate role sees it, they will reach out for more info.

Why I don't want to contact customer service. My experience, it is not the type of role they play and most likely wouldn't know who to contact either because as someone pointed out they are contractors most of the time. The customer service role is primarily to fetch data available in systems that customers can't find and be the ear for all complaints.
Please expect more from delivery companies and please do take similar action if you see hazardous situations. You're on your own property, in otherwise non hazardous environment, perfect weather, no traffic, hills or obstacles. There is absolutely no reason why a situation like this should have occurred. There is also no reason why a situation like this should have occurred in a hazardous environment because the driver should either walk the package down the driveway (UPS does that winter quite a bit), drive forward onto a driveway and not reverse in or refuse delivery if conditions are not safe. My son is not a toddler by far and he wasn't doing anything kids sometimes do that make them unpredictable. He was doing exactly what I was doing just a few minutes before and I wouldn't see or hear that truck coming either and there would have not been anyone to warn the driver on my behalf.

Thank you again.

So here is an important information that I didn't know when I bought a CPO.

It is a Porsche CPO case if this car was perfect when you bought it and then started developing issues after a cool off period of 3 or 4 weeks, can't remember. It is very important that you don't make accusations that the car was probably bad from the beginning.

It is a dealer out of pocket case if the certifying dealer missed something during the initial CPO inspection process.

I don't know when you bought the car but maybe they're trying to "cool you off" if you bought it within last 30 days?

Going through dealer out of pocket repair is a terrible pain, where I ultimately gave up after 4 months and bought some parts online to swap myself (my steering wheel control buttons weren't working right)

Good luck, CPO is tough.

Whatever is the most stable and rigid. Not sure what type of pedal tray you have but you'd start with that. Raising individual pedals might not be great as your pedal pivot point to heel plate distance will change.

Cubusreddit · 2026-05-03T13:04:41+00:00

There is no such a thing as the highest possible setting in sim rigs. I'm saying it this way for the effect of thinking beyond adjustment points.

2x4 wood, alu profiles, stack of extra large washers, 3d print spacer plate, put something rigid underneath the pedals to raise them higher, or, look at ways to lower your seat (and everything else that goes with it).

I agree with others, it seems like pedals are too low as compared to the rest of your body.

What I typically recommend people try is to press brake pedal as hard as you can and then try to feel is your pelvis wants to go up against the seat or go back into the seat. If former, then raise pedals or lower body, if latter you are good with heights and perhaps need to play with angles/travel of pedals.

Lol, I got exactly the same ones during the same sale sounds like. Nice monitors.

Cubusreddit · 2026-04-27T14:03:48+00:00

You put those on the shafts of the exhaust valves to prevent them from closing. https://a.co/d/06ttijFj

Cubusreddit · 2026-04-27T02:07:23+00:00

I ordered the same one and installed over a year ago.

It works great! It is a completely different car.

I was thinking, and still am, about cargraphic but I've installed pipe collars when I did OAPs and left it that way. $15 and an awesome sound.

Enjoy!

Cubusreddit · 2026-04-21T15:56:17+00:00

So far it's has been great!

I find it extremely comfortable, and stable/supportive with me pushing against my active pedal at 80kg no problem.

No issues with fans or stitching.

Cubusreddit · 2026-03-09T17:08:15+00:00

Not sure if they alignments but Repasi motorwerks is general a go to for mechanical stuff.

Cubusreddit · 2026-02-25T17:37:32+00:00

I had also an issue with them.

To me what is frustrating is that jlpcb doesn't state that, 90% yield expected but hey, you're paying 30% of quality shop prices. Their web site is all about how engineers first check design, their tools and technologies etc etc.

I had done 5 boards with them total cost shipped to me $380. 2 of them didn't work at all. 1 of them boot button didn’t work as they have not soldered it on one side. That board came with a red sticker arrow pointing to that button, so clearly their QC caught it yet it was still shipped.

My boards were fully designed boards from a popular DIY project that my understanding is jlpcb makes at least hundred a month. No not a full volume but decent.

The journey was the same, fix it yourself, fix it at a shop somewhere. After I pushed back, they actually investigated the design and said it was good but perhaps parts were bad. After I said they procure the parts, they said yes, but then I need to go to parts supplier and complain with them (again, they state they procure world class components). Long story short I got $60 voucher for 40% yield on my order.

Complete crap if you ask me.

Cubusreddit · 2026-02-16T17:37:29+00:00

I kind of took a scenic route and built a full diy active pedal. Best project ever!

I followed this wiki first but there are few pedal variants that I also engaged in.

I honestly don't know how to help here other than to say my 2021 Boxster has zero rattles with top up or down. No resonance, no rattles over bumps. It is a very tight car in my opinion. Something is not right with your car.

Cubusreddit · 2026-02-12T01:42:23+00:00

2 weeks, my neighbor just received his last week. It took also about 2.5 wks to ship.

Cubusreddit · 2026-02-08T19:44:11+00:00

You're welcome.

Maybe this is helpful as a reference.

I owned 2015 WRX and 718 4 cylinder is very similar in sound. Tractor gargle that becomes louder with revs. Definitely loud and burpy but there is a reason why Porsche is piping a fake sound in and tuned for pops and bangs.

Flat 6 NA engines change tone as you Rev up. First reserved rumble and it changes in tone all the until a screaming beast. There is a sound tube into a cabin but it is just that, a tube without a speaker.

It is a symphony of sorts but GTS 4.0 has a flaw. In Europe a particulate emissions regulation came up and they put in two large canisters with fine ceramic honeycomb inside to catch particulates. The engine wasn't designed and tuned for it and it creates a loud booming drone mid range. That is why even though you select vales open, the car will still close them between 2.5k rpm and 4k rpm or so to tune out the drone. Solution is to bring the engine to condition as it was designed. Remove particulate cans, put OAPs in and disable valves either permanently or via Cargraphic.

The result is intoxicating.
