I used to do that and now I have to stay away 500 feet from the school when I pick up my kid.

You can shut the passenger door without them having to touch it after they get out by using Lauch Control.

So we have an automatic closing procedure. Now we just need the automatic opening function!
But honestly! I teach my kids to not close the Porsches by flexing the windows. And they are going from Tarmac to carpet. No shoes on the doors sills. With the DD they can do whatever they want!

When my car was still new, I just called the roadside assistance number to have someone come out and close the door for me. One the roadside assistance ran out, well, I just haven't driven it since.
I just spit beer out of my nose this was so funny.

I must admit though, Ive seen all those fingerprints on my widow and paint and thought, who the f**k is doing that until I realize that I'm the only one driving the car.

Pretty sure that the concours judge who identifies it as a ***** print needs to be doing some explaining first...

This is what I wear when I drive my 991. I bought the white cotton gloves from Bowring Arundel & Co in London. While they're apropos for your run of the mill white tie and tail events, they serve as terrific driving gloves that imparts a tactile quality which helps replicate a manual rack 911 driving experience. They also eliminate those dreadful fingerprints whilst closing the door.

Who lives in Portland, knows the OP, likes buttered pop corn, and wants to spend about 15-20 touching every square inch of the OP's car?

I close it by any part of the door I want, and then immediately call a mobile detailer each time I park.

So far is working out well.

I guess that's why Dr Porsche put a garage door openers on it. That's what I use. I'll bitch slap or pimp slap someone if they use the glass edge.

I need to incorporate "prosaic" into conversations more often.
