My wife lets me buy 911s. Who needs a better marriage than that?

Small 992 gripe: I miss the headlight spray washers I’ve had on previous Porsches. Driving in winter I used them pretty regularly. Now when driving at night I’ve had to stop, get out and clean the headlights.

I love my 992. Wouldn't change a thing. Wife picked out the color, so she's onboard too. Quite lucky to have such a nice vehicle.

Here are my gripes with the 992, which I hope they resolve going forward.
1. SHIFTER CONSOLE LAYOUT. The blank (not black) but blank space around the shifter (which I have no real problem with). There needs to be better use of that empty space. Maybe something along the lines of the Panamera (as pictured below), even though I am not a fan of touch screens, it beats the total blank space now.
2. TRACTION CONTROL. A way to completely disable all traction control management systems. Like totally off.
3. INDIVIDUAL SETUP. A way to individually setup the dynamics of the car -- e.g., Sport+ for suspension, Sport for drivetrain, Sport for steering, Sport+ for exhaust.
That's about it.

2. Just switch PSM off with the according button. Good luck with it on public roads
3. You forgot to order the SportChrono package. A bad idea on a 911 for many resons. You just detected one

This came as a surprise to me as well (on my “base” Targa 4). Apparently, they’re on the S and above on the 991.2 ... I guess this also applies to the 992 ?

My longtime girlfriend loves to go car shopping, would prefer a trip to the Porsche dealer over a trip to Louis Vuitton or Chanel. Planning on building/buying a new house, she’s already informed the realtor not to show us anything with has less than a 4 car garage along with ceiling heights that will accommodate lifts for even more cars. People often ask why I don’t marry her, I believe that answer is self explanatory.
