After a day of rain, I drove my "new" boxster for the first time on empty secondary roads near my home. Now I know the other reason why I don't like semi-metallic pads, dust. Had I driven the car prior to my first posting, I would have answered my own question as to whether Porsche OE brake pads are metallic or ceramic. Oh well, at least I am starting out with new pads and rotors.

They are a dusty pain in the butt... but the stopping... well, that works pretty good.

Congrats--sounds like a great car. (But you need to post some photos.)

Homelink can be a frustrating and recurring issue. On my 2005 S, at two different homes, I had to program multiple times. At least once it worked for a few months, and then quit but worked after reprograming. And if your opener uses a rolling code, that can be more difficult.

Herewith a photo of my 08 Boxster S taken after registering it in PA (it was purchased in Rochester NY). As a background, I always use this notary for my out-of-state vehicle purchases and, to say the least, he's a real car lover. Aside from his old-time filling station, he's a car collector. While completing the paperwork, he was reminded that he once drove a new Porsche back in 1957. It was a Speedster costing a whopping $2,600. Of course, he realizes what that Speedster would be worth today, but to put this in context, a new Chevy Bel Air V8 would have cost about the same in 1957. So a new Porsche was never cheap regardless of when it was purchased and back it the 50's it was viewed here in the US as one of those "little foreign cars". BTW, for those having no memories of the 1950's, "Ethyl" was the name given to higher octane gas.

Nice pic. I really like this color. Reminds me of the Slate Grey Metallic from my 944. Looks just awesome on the 987 Boxster.

Happy 4th!
