Does submitting to Bring A Trailer count? Sadly, after 11 years and 5k miles my time with the Turbo has sadly come to an end. I've gone entire years without driving it and it's become nothing more than garage art. I know I'll regret the decision but with a 3 car garage and owning 6 cars, not including the daily drivers, some of them have to go.

Thanks! Speed Yellow, 6 speed and 16k. Just had a fresh PPI, full service, tires and even dry ice on the under carriage to appease the keyboard warriors and commenters with no intention of buying, lol.

Additionally, there was no covered parking in the employee's parking lot and the parking spaces were not very wide.
I use 2 spaces.....

Using two spaces would be an invitation for someone to do something unsavory to your car, not only because a nice looking high end car was taking two spaces, but also because parking was many times extremely crowded.

Yes, using two spaces is an invitation to get keyed.

I guess different locales have different customs. Never had a problem here but of course I wouldn't play that card in a very crowded restaurant, for instance. I'd drive my Jeep instead....

I picked up "dings and dents" insurance from the dealer on my wife's Boxster. So when she goes in for an oil change they clean up any door dings. I know you guys are correct on the two space issue but I just can't bear the thought of someone parking close to my car then opening the damned door against her.....grrrrr

I don't drive mine to work. It's a combo of no covered parking and the need to carry my son and dog.

The PO had a dog that absolutely wrecked the interior of the car - it was transported to work on a daily basis for over a decade.

It was a nice dog, but it had no respect for the interior.

Here in central Texas, hail, shade, grackle poo, etc are all reasons to want covered parking....
