It defies logic to buy any sports car to sit in traffic. Why would a 993 be a engaging car to drive single file in a line of traffic. Keep in mind I would like to have a 993 for a saturday cruz but not in congested areas.

Where are you getting this from? I'm referring to normal unimpeded roads and roadways. Not sitting in a traffic jam.

Why do women sit so close to steering wheel when they have longer legs than men (proportionally)?

So they can get a 6'6" guy in the back.... Ask Weim

Is this brunette "destaccado"? A 991-hating girl, the arch-nemesis of Suzy991?

Now this thread is taking on significance.

I recon the 991 & the chick ran off into the sunset together and OP is left high & dry - hence the attitude towards both. 3somes usually end like this.

Women have much less upper body strength than men. Sitting closer greatly compensates for this. Power steering may not require much strength, but sitting close still gives them significantly more control. Also very few women are macho. Many men suffer from the stereotype of the macho cool dude sitting way back, one arm draped over the wheel, other one half out the window. Or maybe its a misperception of F1. Whatever it is an awful lot of guys sit way too far back. Watch just about any race driver, or anyone who's been well-instructed (and learned from it) they all sit close with a lot of elbow bend. So emulate the women, Mondrian, emulate the women!

I have it down to insecurity - too close to steering wheel means you are scared of loosing control, too far and you are over confident. Works between people too!

No matter how you read the above pic, wrist over top of s/wheel or 90-120 elbow bend she is way too close.

The correct seating position will allow both wrists to lie on top of the steering wheel while both shoulders are well into the seat back. If you are unable to do this then you are sitting too far back. Its not a question of security or fear, its all down to ergonomics.

Look at it this way. Probably there is something in your life where you have had to learn the correct technique in order to do it well. Could be tennis racket or golf club grip. Tie a suture. Ride in echelon. Rappel. Whatever. In each case, once you learn and become proficient, you can always spot the clueless novice. Think about it.

Nope. She loves the 991 and thinks there's something wrong with me for not liking it as much as she does. The fact I let her drive the car in the first place actually demonstrates how little I care for it
