Default Even water can be cool

I know this is the air-cooled forum, but I just yesterday heard a very cool story about a water-cooled Porsche. A friend of my detailer really wanted a Boxter S. He ordered one, only to find out that Boxter S is discontinued to the USA market after 2018. However, he’d gotten his order in two days before they stopped USA spec production, and Porsche agreed to honor his order. This guy will have the only 2019 USA-spec Boxter S. One of one.

It's Boxster.

Boxer engine + a 2-seat roadster = Boxster.

Strange story, I didn't know Porsche was getting out of the Boxster S in 2019?

did you check out the guy texting his buddy ? " hey check this out dude" . !! never mind the two guys drowning.

id love to know what went wrong, but it was a four wheel lock up straight into the barrier. That concrete barrier saved them from that pole or it would have been even uglier.

They were actually fine ..

I have not seen anything in PCA news emails or on Planet 9 (a mostly Boxster / Cayman forum) about the Boxster S being cancelled. If fact, I found a post on P9 from someone who says he's got an order in for a 2019 BGTS due for a July build. Cancellation of the Boxster S would be a big deal and would be all over the Internet.
