Celsius or Fareneight
My wife noticed last night that the temperature control on my S2 was in celsius but the car is originally from Alabama so the speed indicator is in MPH with the KPH smaller.
Are your cars in celsius also? I would have thought they'd be in fareneight.

Porsche had a serious shortage of US spec faceplates that year. They just used the Celsius units in Alabama because they knew the locals never finished high school and wouldn't know the difference. The shortage got so bad they had to use a 'rainbow' decal instead of numbers for California.

Stop that I'm reading this in my office and I had to hold my breath to not laugh too loud

I do the same when drinking Canadian beer. Maybe that's why I keep waking up on the floor.

Its a pet peave of mine but System International using metric units should be CENTIGRADE, not celsius. Farenheit is about idiotic as the rest of the English system of gallons, miles and pounds which is abandoned by even the British. Unfortunately its also what I am used to because its all anyone uses here in the U. S.

I don't recall if it was loud. I recall it looked really clean though.
