Default Stupid mistake

Well I learned the hard way today want happens when you put jack stands on the jack points of the car and use a scissor jack. Rich Sandor ius right use the front subframe and rear trailing arms to put the jack stands on. I ended up putting a hole through the bottom of the floorpan. I am going to use black silicone to close the whole up, but do you guys tink that I should get it fixed because I am worried that over time it will open up for fromthe flexing of the car. Here is a pic.

I wouldn't worry too much about a crack growing from it. If it really bothers you, it would be easy to pop rivet in a patch and then undercoat thoroughly.

WTF... Then why did Porsche give us a designated jacking point if you can't jack from there? I just used the trailing arm and control arm by habit, since that's what I used before I found out about the jacking points, and they work well. I'm glad I never tried it though!

I seriously am thinking about skipping my own 21st birthday party to go to that Lemans party... My car just being in the VICINITY of that many people who know alot about porsche's will probably make it run better....

Thanks Dan, by chance do you have a mig welder someone told me it needs to be be welded shut. June 17th sounds like fun, anybody else for south KY/Northern TN, going up to Cinci for the party? Oh yeah how far is it to Cinci from my place in Bowling Green?

I can't tell from the pic, did it slide off the jack points or did the jacking points push through the floor?
