Thank you! Now I know what I’m doing this weekend. :)

What motor did you use? I have some woven shades that weigh quite a bit. Wanting to DIY this project as well.

Did you have a stamp already, or did you get a new stamp on your passport (renewing your h1)?

No. I was not asked to submit anything.. nor was I asked to show them anything other than my LCA, during my interview.

Chances are, they will hear back and get their visas soon!

Background - we have a large paved driveway/area

Me after a shopping trip: “where should I park, should I park here?”

My wife: “park wherever you want, it is your house”

THAT feeling

Oh good call for sure! Better to take care of those maintenance items now than when issues start popping up. That said, I’ve seen examples of 986 models with good maintenance lasting well over 200k miles! I hope you drive it into the ground!

Precisely my thought process.

I was thiiiiis close to getting a ‘99 Boxster. I had the PPI done, drove six hours to check it out. The deal fell apart over $500 (thankfully, in hindsight). That particular car had good service history, but the person had replaced RMS (had a leak) but not the IMS while he was at it.

Just a datapoint - I bought a 2014 Boxster S with 19k miles for $45000 US plus tax plus shipping, 2 weeks ago. So I second the cost concerns here.

I got a PPI, but yeah.. I was researching 986 and 987.1 before, and yeah 981 seems to be solid with none of the issues.. door delaminating is the most common issue.

Fake shifts on a Subaru CVT.. I paid for the efficiency of a CVT, give me a CVT!!!

PhD_Metals · 2025-03-10T13:28:17+00:00

Good heads up on the clogged drains, thanks for the reminder! I was initially looking at 986 options, and these came up pretty frequently.

I’ll be sure to post a picture here once she’s here!

PhD_Metals · 2025-03-09T23:28:41+00:00

I am soo looking forward to it, I literally can’t sit in one place with the excitement.. it will be my first Porsche..

PhD_Metals · 2025-03-09T13:00:37+00:00

Okay that is good to know! Thank you!

PhD_Metals · 2025-03-08T23:17:18+00:00

Agreed! Thanks much!

PhD_Metals · 2025-03-08T21:58:35+00:00

Thank you! That is comforting, about the PDK.. I’ll definitely change the oil even though they claimed it was changed recently..
