Yea but so was "Priority of the right"!!!! Years ago, I rented a car and nearly killed myself and a ton of others! Then there is your darn highway signs... sometimes in French and sometimes in Dutch!! I was fallowing signs for Liege and then promptly got really lost.... signs magically changed to Luik.

Next time I need to go there I'll study your local driving habits and provide an equally insightful analysis

This was many years ago, clutches with organic facing were cheap and replaced often, or "resurfaced' by burning it in a little more. I absolutely hated the cars from 1973 to 1992. So, I drove cars from the 50s and 60s until 1996. I could replace a clutch in about 2 hours for under $100. I would not do that with a modern car, especially a Porsche. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously, just an anecdote from 50 years ago. Sometimes I forget I am in a forum were everyone takes everything dead seriously.

If anyone bothered to look at my profile, they would know I'm 75 years old. So, what are the odds I taught my brother, sister and kids to drive manual transmission recently?

This is ridiculous ..... If this is an issue don't drive standard ..... What happens if you are on a slope stuck in downtown traffic or in urban crawl speed ?? My Cayenne has hill assist and personally I could take it or leave it. Too many BS driving features .... Back up cameras , Sensors for this that and the other thing ....What happened to good old fashioned driving skills and a simplistic cockpit .... No ***** , doo Hickeys , French ticklers(992) etc ....
