Default What is this?
Does anyone know what the item is in the upper part of the Boxster glovebox pic? Mine has two clips there, but nothing in place. Is that a tire pressure guage?

Aftermarket pens can be purchased for less than those with the OEM logo, by the way...

The Boxster has a glove box? How do you get it open, and what's that black thing inside?

Simple pull latch. The black thing is the nice leather bound owner's manual!

Found one on Ebay for $17! Take a $.50 pen, put Porsche on it and charge another $16.50. I guess thats why they say Porsche is the most profitable auto manufacturer out there. I have a few pens at home I'm sure will fit :-)

Funny, I was just looking at that last night wondering what went there. I think that I'm going to try & find an electronic tire gauge that is pencil shaped for that spot.

I'm a pharmacist so I used to get alot of free viagra pens and knick knacks, soap dispensers, cardhoders, paperweights.....and I didn't sell any of them but the pens were selling for as high as $13.00 at one time, plus the profit you'd make on the postage....I just gave them away as gag gifts....and all that kinda stuff of freebies's to the doctors was supposed to stop, I believe, I was just getting the leftovers.....

They are for storage....not for playing.
