Quick video about the various clever storage compartments on the 991 mentioned in this thread -- pen holder, credit card holder, umbrella holder and one mystery compartment that I don't know what it's for really.

This happens to me all the time. I have to leave the key in the garage.

Why is it that the frunk will always pop open when you're washing your car but rarely does so when you actually want it to.

Try not to let the car get parked in a freezing rain scenario because without an ice scraper (kept outside the car) it can be hard get the window to drop to open the door. This might not be 991 specific its more like any car with frameless windows.
There is cable access to the frunk in the driver side front wheel well.
