Default Me, too...

I've had this happen with my 996 (40th anniversary) many times, but didn't take any pics. However, my Panny Turbo isn't immune, either. Recently was at Lowe's and absolutely NO ONE was anywhere near where I parked. Twenty minutes later, I find this. Really?

^^^^ be glad he leaft a good 2ft a space next to your car. When i cant find a spot thats empty on both sides i try to park next to more expensive or newer cars so atleast the owners are more careful not to damage their car before they put a ding on yours.

LOL...thanks. By the way, it looks like your C4S does well in the snow. I live in Evergreen, CO at about 8,000'. What tire/wheel combination do you use in the winter?
Thanks, James

Today while cleaning the engine lid fan I noticed that there is a light down there! Mine was burned out, so I grabbed an LED light from NAPA...and wow! Now every time I open the engine lid it is shining bright!

Just noticed that the top of the seatbelts are adjustable.
Push the button to lower / raise.
They are on slider tracks.
