In my opinion, the most perfect porsche, although I would go for a lighter colour. Unfortunately too good for the canadian climate. This the car I would own if I lived in southern california

Can I suggest driving your Boxter in the winter and picking up an air cooled for summer months? 993 cabs come with a discount compared to coupes. Toronto may to October makes a cab worthwhile.

It's a combination of heavy traffic and freeze thaw cycles, and the fact that good repairs take time. and there is a limitted window to when roads can be repaved.

That and there are a lot of roads, and not many people to pay for them.

I think that about covers it.

Love it. What is your suspension set up? It does not look OEM.

Thanks... it's got Bilstein B6 shocks with M030 springs and M030 sway bars. It's firm, but feels very nice on the road.

36mm shocks or 46 mm?

I ask because I put the Bilstein B12 package on mine and it rides too low.

I think the B6XT kit (from Carnewal) will lower the car from 10mm - 40 mm. Definitely not too low...

you can read about it here: http://www.carnewal.com/products/993...W-M030-Springs

I am hoping this week of warm weather the snow will melt enough that I can get the cars out.
