Default Something important to really BITCH about....

...okay, unless I am doing something wrong, my sunvisor does not come off and twist to the side to prevent the sun coming in from the side windows. Now, is that too much to ask for from a 100k car?
I almost decided to hang my underwear of the side window as I was driving with the hot sun hitting my face...but I thought it might be a little tacky.

You're doing something wrong. Even the Cabriolets do it.

...I like a good reason as to why Targas do not have real sunvisors. If I get skin cancer on the left side of my face I am going to call Larry Parker the lawyer!!!!!

My 07 C2S coupe's twist okay. I wonder if Porsche purposely makes some models' don't twist for reasons? (e.g. safety)

With best regards,

Peter at least when you start measuring the snow in centimeters instead of meters you know spring is here
