My wife's other car is a 2016 Audi Q5 3.0 T with a supercharged six and an eight speed paddle shift transmission and it is about as much fun as her Porsche. Technology, year on year, in phenomenal without question. With the first oil change (included) I bought a maintenance plan through 65 K miles for $900. Done.

As noted, Porsche's are another matter. Time and materials on her Boxster for an oil change (annual or every 10 K miles) by me is 20 minutes (primarily awaiting the oil to drain) and $50 for filter (Amazon) and oil (Mobil One at Walmart). I change oil every two years as the miles are low. A lot of folks are frightened to do maintenance on the European import when, in fact, it ain't all that hard. An oil change on her Boxster is more work than the same on my Tundra...


Conduct is the best proof of character.
