Much Respect!
I give respect to all Porsche owners regardless of style and vintage. Let's keep it positive.
We all know what it feels like to press in the clutch and turn that ignition with our left hand as we slide that baby into gear with our right and she purrs to life. That, to me, is automotive poetry.

Hey guys I didn't know the answer either, but I'm guessing the question has been around for a long time. The answer: because the Germans haven't figured out a way to make TVs leak oil.

I heard the left hand ignition set up come from the days of the old running start auto races (LeMans start-I believe it's called?). The driver can access the key more quickly as they enter the cabin.
