Slight scratches on hood and windshield :-(

Vortex is in Tampa.

Walk around is just any leaks and such and nothing was found.

See if BGB Motorsports in Ormand Beach will service your car? They are a full on water cooled Porsche only race shop..ie BGB Grand Am cars and they do the new Cayman Spec series. John at BGB told me they are getting more into doing consumer services lately due to racing falling off. This is a top notch shop with all the inside scoop on water cooled Porsche's.

Wow...that's some pretty stout PR. Yes, if you're local to the Daytona/Ormond area, we're just up the road.

Thanks.

There's actually something to that statement. I've seen charts in manuals for both Caterpillar and Cummins engines, that show oil change intervals based on oil consumption... the more oil used, the longer the service interval.

You should be able to request an alignment too on your first visit?

With in 2 months/2000 miles Porsche will correct the alignment under warranty. Maybe your dealer will go farther.
