For the one time a year that you drive it?

This is a big deal in my household, as I am a "daylight push to the front, nighttime pull to the rear" person, and my wife is the opposite.

She also turns off the car first and then turns off the headlights.

Other issues: toilet seat up (me)/down (she), toilet paper rolls out from the bottom (me) / rolls from the top (she).

How we've stayed together for over a quarter of a century, I have no idea.

Hope you don't do this without your underwear on

No, no, you don't understand -- it's much more enjoyable in the nude.

I alternate from the crest and from the edges, the important thing is that you make sure no limbs or hair are sticking out 'cuz that looks suspicious. Of course I am sure Andreas uses garbage bags and duck tape so this isn't a problem.

To be 100% correct (which involves adhering to both Porsche recommendations (video and Owners Manual)), I put white gloves on my hands, one on my right foot, then press down in the corners with my hands, and on the crest with the ball of my foot simultaneausly! The pressure is distributed and there are no greasy smudges!!

I push below the crest on the 993, and on the aluminum hooded 997s, its the only place you should.

Now we have 4 pages on closing the hood. I don't know if I should be impressed or scared.
