650: Wifey's DD and also a Euro delivery car.
Toureg TDI: For Dobies, airport, HD, and skiing.
'91 NSX: Pristine project car,
And, about that garage: installed a lift a few mos ago. Before lift...
After lift...
Used the lift to do an early first oil change on the 991 a few days ago.

No stupid advice intended , I got this all wrong, its a language translation thing 
, I thought that since you have enough space for 04 cars, you dont need to slide between them with the mirrors folded, so in your case folding mirrors would be useless
Other than that, I try to never park my car near another (even my own ones) to avoid door dings, so in my case theres no use for folding mirrors.

Nice garage work area. Wish mine looked that way. And that's a very nice project car. We owned a second gen NSX for ten years. Put 140k miles on it and considered it our car-to-be-buried-in until the dealer took it in for service, crashed it, and then refused to pay on the basis that "it could happen to anyone." Lots of anger then, but no more angst. USAA sued their *** and added a low-interest loan to the proceeds to finance our first Carrera, which turned out to be another lovable car.
But I still admire a nice clean NSX like yours.

No offense intended, Galion. Just that I have come to realize that most of the oddball items on that long option list reflect the diversity of Porsche buyers. I live in a desert and park in handicap slots when I do go downtown, so I need folding mirrors like I need bubble gum. But like rod antennas and parking assist, folding mirrors matter a lot to some buyers who love their cars as much as I love mine.

Okay - maybe I still don't know what it does. I had "active steering" in my last BMW 550i sport - it was to control over and under steer. At low speed you it took less turning distance in the steering wheel to make a turn - a higher speeds it took a greater turning distance in the steering wheel to make a turn.

PSP supposedly only engages at very low speed, to make parking maneuvers easier. The debate is: does it screw up the handling at higher speeds? Porsche says it does not, some owners of prior version 911's believe the steering is compromised compared to older versions due to PSP.
I previously had a Cayman, but this is my first 911, that probably makes it easier to adapt to it, as opposed to people who have a lot of experience with prior 911's.

Owned the NSX--first yr of production--since new and have done all the service on it myself except timing belts and recent Bilstein swap and O2 sensors for which I needed help from a friend. Found that folks are much more willing to give a hand with the lift and a six-pack available
