Don't forget to leave out the other "half" of the deal he will give.

Btw, SmartTop just released a new module that will open the sunroof with 19 presses of the lock button on your key. This will help with Kris Murphy's ingenious version of the enlightened entry technique (EET). Timely I'd say.

I carry in-car crocs for me and 3 passengers to reduce wear and tear on my carpet.

Yeah, that's why I've got the huge, double-headed OH, you wrote "crocks." Right.

A real Porsche owner would do what I do and have a fresh supply of OEM driver's seats to install whenever wear begins to show on bolsters.

At the very least, reupholster, man, reupholster!

psssssshhhhh, bunch of noobs.....I 3-D print a new seat everytime I drive (quick detach mounts on rails). VOILA.......ZERO wear on the factory units swathed in 1,000 count Egyptian cotton sheets while stored in a climate-controlled subterranean bunker (triple filtered air, uninterruptible power source).

You need to let some air out of the two right side tires. Gotta be at least a 2 degree slant in that signature pic.



Hey, you gonna be at the AX this weekend? If so, I can bring you a zip lock bag so you can stuff your keys up your snorkel.

Must be much easier to slide in driver seat...

because of all the satire here on this thread we will most likely never see this question seriously posted .........and that is sad . Good news there will be plenty of water,phone,oil ,tools,nuts ,floor mats etc to go around. I will confess though when i first read the subject of the thread i thought here we go again ....i will be sharing this beauty at da bar like the bent crank one ......the bar STILL gets a laugh at the po owner wanting to do an oil change and asking what is the difference between an oil pan and drain pan [silly engineers]

So what's the difference, one holds oil and the other drains oil? DT40?
