Honestly, They should be using a crane to lift it out! Perhaps the strapping is there to keep the car from going any further into the drink? Hate to think they are going to drag it up onto the surface!

Damn. And one of my top five favorite PTS colors, too. Maybe it wanted to wash off the stickers.

Talking about the E-brake...
I hope that Porsche one day will figure it out and make it operating like in all other cars (pull=engage, push=disengage).
It took them some time with the PDK (or they still make them reverse operating??)

Car overheard it was going to be kept in a garage to never see light of day. Threw itself in water to hope it would then be bought by someone that would drive it

At first I thought the same thing, however, I don't think they could due to the large overhang/roof above. At any rate, they are going to do double the damage pulling it out this way.

WHY IN THE WORLD DID THEY NOT INSTALL SOME SORT OF FENCE WHEN THEY BUILT DEALERSHIP?

Just looking at that setup my mind says...."wow i can imagine a car going into the water"
