The only benefit of cooling down the car before closing the garage door is that I don't have a scorching hot garage. The 992 generates so much heat and my garage is not air-conditioned. It gets boiling. I am talking 40C+.
I find it help. Put your hand above the open wing after a good drive.

So if I get this straight Porsche allows for the Carrera wing to be open manually but it's not cool because it looks like you are flexing. At the same time driving a GT3RS with a 2x8 attached to the rear end permanently is cool because it comes from the factory. Did I get that right?
Now a shaker scoop or a vacuum powered hood air intake on a muscle car with a ram air system is definitely cool

TBH it was a piece of crap but I had fun, like with all my vehicles, in "personalizing" it. Cheap parts from ball joints, water pump, window motors, HU amp, seat rails... but it was fun. Looking for a '71 Cuda to go back to MOPAR (when they actually made cars), had a Roadrunner back in the day (yes with an 8 track), Hurst etc. Loads of fun with no more dealers to worry about.

I never knew that you can deploy the wing all the time.
i always thought if i forgot to retract the wing after a car wash, as soon as drive it it will retract and will get deploy again bases on the vehicle’s speed

Based on 100s of millions of dollars on RD Porsche has determined that that “fixed wing” should be there for downforce …your carrera wing is meant to go up at set determined speed as per the RD..if you want a wing buy a gt car otherwise look like an idiot with your wing up while parked or add the aero kit with the fixed wing…someone start a poll and I bet it’s 85% feel the same
