Great thread... that's high praise indeed.
My wife called my (sold) 928S "a boat" and has mentioned to me that 911s are "pretty cute".
Storytime....
The only time my she ralphed in transit, it was HER car. I was the sober designated-driver, and she had discovered some tasty (and powerful) Long Island Ice Tea's while were out with friends. It was a bit of a learning experience, she went over her limit with 4 or 5 in rapid succession.
On the way home in her '88 Cutlass, at a stoplight she started making funny noises - I said, "Roll down the window!"
She heroically got the window down and lunged for it - oops, seatbelt locked! Suddenly there's pungent bar food dissolved in Long Island Ice Tea all over the inside of the door. The second wave hit and I unbulcked her seatbelt, now the outside of the door gets similar treatment. The alky smell was so strong I began to worry if the paint would peel.
The best part was that after tucking her in for the night, I had to drive back to the bar and get my friends! I had a smell-free '85 RX-7 parked right there - not a very useable people-mover but I briefly considered making 3 trips. However, 15 minutes with some windex and paper towels, and I could stand the puky Cutlass with the windows down.
Then I picked up my peoples who by this time were also hammered - and mysteriously nobody wanted to call shotgun. They piled in the back and mercifully managed to not be affected by the smell.

It was a Ciera, not a Calais as you pictured. Sorry, forgot to clarify. Great snow car, but after a few years I had to catch the tranny fluid with a drip pan and pour it back in once a week.
Gave it to my nephew's deadbeat dad as partial payment for roofing work, he wrecked it before going back to jail for probation violations.
No Porsche (except the Volkswagon SUV) could punch through snowdrifts like that FWD V6 Cutlass.
