Default It's a little peppier

Got my Turbo S cab and my wife drove it for first time. I asked her what she thought and she said "it's a little peppier" as compared to our last car (991S). Hopefully she won't ask how much a little peppier costs.

Cute - how often do you think she will drive it?

She will drive it often. She never liked our 993 bc of the manual transmission. Ever since I went PDK she seems to use cars often. She has been asking why there are weird side vents and spoiler. Maybe I should tell her it is a turbo?

Aren't there a few "Turbo" scripts on the interior - gauges and PDK surround?
I think she knows ...


This, in a weird way, reminds me of a guy who wanted a new Mustang. He ordered one in the same color combination as his older one hoping the wife wouldn't notice. She did.

Has your wife driven it in Sport Plus yet? When she does she probably won't wonder what the "side vents" and spoiler are there for.

Very true but fortunately she hasn't a clue what those buttons mean.

She wouldn't pay any attention to those labels fortunately. Maybe I should take window sticker out of glove box....

Default Buttons...

Well, if she is curious about the buttons and pushes SP she will instantaneously know. Just hope she doesn't enter any steep entry driveways in SP.
