Been living the EV life, but my i4 is in the shop getting repairs due to a valet parking accident in NYC... it's been at the bodyshop since the end of May, and the RAV4 base i got as a rental isn't cutting it.... I hope to get the i4 back July 5th.

Got the 2001 Boxster S out yesterday. Looked at my maintenance records and I did an oil change on it June 9th,2023 at 160K km which was only 1900km ago.... 3 drops of fluid, likely motor oil and tranny fluid where it sat since last November...

Runs great, drove the 80 km home with the top down and sunscreen on.

Tested the AC this afternoon, and she still pumps out cold air...

I finally got mine on the road after some maintenance.

The timing belt, water pump, tensioner, front main seal, oil pump seals and new gear, cam gears, fuel pressure regulator, return line to cooler, brake master, and all fluids. Not bad since the last major maintenance was done in 2013 and over 60,000 km's ago. She is now at 245,000 and ready for another 60k.

All set for the Parkway trip in July.

Just got this one back from the dealer Friday; has only been driven from storage to the dealer this year. Fair bit of work on it with recalls and an oil leak that meant engine out. Latest I have ever put a car back on the road here - June!

My Panamera e-Hybrid is still with the dealer (HV battery cell replacement under warranty) and should be ready any time now. In the meantime, I had to clean up my late father's baby and take it for a spin... 75km and 1/2 a tank of gas lighter, it was a nice drive and my back hurts! (lol)

@Onami - Thank you. Dad was the original owner and for some reason, painted it white when I learned to drive in it back in the day. I think the restored it back to Elkhart green after my accident and tickets - white was bad luck!

What a beauty - I'm guessing that most on the forum have either wanted to or owned a Vet at some point since they were 10 years old - I certainly did.

Beautiful car, as a teenager one of my friends father had a blue on blue 73. I always liked that body style.
