1998 Porsche Boxster 85,324 Miles 5spd Manual transmission Vehicle Condition: This Porsche runs and drives great. Shifts smoothly through all the gears with NO grinding or noise. The clutch feels strong. The engine starts right up and does NOT smoke or leak. Tracks straight with no noise in the suspension. A/C blows cold air, power windows operate smoothly and are not "slow" like many cars this age. The power top operates smoothly as well. The top is in "good" shape with no tears or rips, but does show some age. The rear plastic window is in reasonable shape with no cracks and is not super cloudy or faded like some Boxsters get. The leather seats do show some wear and the drivers seat is cracked on the bottom cushion. The interior over all is fine, but does show some fading and wear and tear. The radio face plate is missing, but I do have the radio code card. The airbag light is on, but all other warning lights are off. The car appears to be well maintained and can be driven as is where ever the buyer likes. Everything functions as it should. Accident Damage: This car has a salvage Alabama title. The car was in a fairly minor accident recently. You can see the damage in the pictures. There are some dents to the driver's rear quarter panel, driver's door, and driver's front fender. These are superficial and easily repaired by any body shop and do not effect how the car runs or drives. Additionally there is some damage to the front the rear bumpers which are also easily repaired. There are a few small pieces of trim that are missing such as the front corner reflector and the drivers taillight lens is broken, but aside from these small things the car is complete and perfectly drivable as is. The car did not sustain any suspension or frame damage in the accident. Maintenance: The car appears to have been very well maintained by Eurasian Auto Service Inc. of Birmingham AL. with more than $3500 spent on routine maintenance since 2007. Maintenance items include brakes, filters, seals, MAF sensor, wheel bearing, and front motor mount. I will provide all receipts to the buyer.

Why won't automakers slap on a turbo badge anymore?
Thu, Sep 10 2015Where have all the turbos gone? Not the actual pieces that go in the engine, mind you, those are everywhere these days as automakers downsize cylinder counts and boost efficiency and CO2 claims. But the turbo badges and fanfare are missing. Back when turbos were something to get excited about there was "turbo-driven," "turbonium," and "The Turbo Zone," among other silly lines. But now that basically every car is getting some sort of boost even on the lowliest trims, automakers are almost sliding in the turbos under the radar. Or if you look at some of the nomenclature, pretending they don't exist at all. The 911 Turbo badge shows where the car goes from being sane to lunatic. It's an important border. The latest automaker to hide that it has boosted the turbo presence is Porsche with the 2017 911 lineup. Even the standard Carrera models now get turbocharged flat-six engines, meaning the 911 Turbo models aren't quite as special as they once were. Porsche is in a sticky situation with this. The 911 Turbo, after all, signifies where the 911 family takes off from being a sports car and becomes the Ferrari fighter. The 911 Turbo badge shows where the car goes from being sane to lunatic. It's an important border, but now Porsche has crossed it and is trying to downplay the fact. There are a lot of exaggerations with displacement badges today, with claims the 2.0-liter turbo four in a Mercedes C Class equates to a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter six to make a C300. Volvo is pretty far up there, too, saying an XC90 T8 means V8 power, even though it's a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged four with electric assist. I don't know why BMW can't just call the car a 330i Turbo, rather than inflating the numbers up to 340i. Saab tried all of this back in the '90s when it decided to turbocharge its entire lineup, from light pressure units all the way up to models actually called "Saab 9-3 HOT" (for high-output turbo). But then the brand deleted any external reference to the turbo under the hood and people wondered why they were buying a $42,000 four-cylinder convertible. And that didn't turn out well. Even though these turbo replacements often make more power than their naturally aspirated predecessors, they're very different engines. People knew something changed when they exchanged their leased 328i with a 3.0-liter six for a 328i with a 2.0-liter turbo four.
How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder
Mon, 14 Apr 2014That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.
