Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle;
The Porsche 911 was basically a squashed Beetle, inheriting the air cooled rear engine layout;
Toyota taught Porsche how to make the 996;
Volkswagen owns Porsche.
In 20 years, Microsoft will own Porsche, Volkswagen and Toyota and the 911 will be known as the MS Porsche WinCar 9.11 - and the RMS will still be leaking.
Well, sort of anyway.

- The bracket under the steering column is for the owners manual
- You can purchase a "red clip" (about $0.75) for your 996 Cab from Porsche that will allow you to activate the in car motion sensors if you park and lock the car with the top down (they are normally not active if the top is down).
- The dealer can program the door locks to automatically lock at speed with the PST2 tool
- If you don't change your yellow sidemarkers to clear sidemarkets Tim will make fun of you every time you post a picture.
