Default Wide Body vs Narrow Body Decision

In the event any of you are considering one of those big J-LO butts for a Carrera consider the places you can't go with such a wide rear end!

Wow that makes me so nervous just watching. I wouldn't have been bold enough to try that!

Need a Ferrari for that - pre-tested and engineered to fit.

You can hear The Doors "Wild Child" playing on the radio. NICE!

Aren't the mirrors the widest part of the car and not the rear fenders?
I believe the width of the cars when listed by Porsche is sans mirrors.

No kidding... I actually know someone who damaged a rear rim close to a curb in a C4 because he forgot about the extra rear width.

I'm impressed with your guts and skill in Amalfi alley.

Did you transport your car from California to Italy for a road trip or..?

I pride myself on knowing the dimensions of my car -- I thread i through traffic at lights and stuff without thinking about it that other drivers in smaller cars won't even attempt.

But damn, I wouldn't have tried to drive my car down that alley. That was scary!
