I found a samsonite bag that will fit nicely. It does not fit vertically, but fits in nicely when it is on the side. It is a right fit and I am a bit concerned that the wheels on the bag will scratch the sides of the trunk.

Next time my brother visits, I will ask him to bring this make/model of bag so that is fits nicely.

^^ that should work if it doesn't make contact with the frunk lid. put a towel or a cover on the wheels for added protection.

As mentioned, the key on the left will become second nature to you. It took me awhile to get used to when I got my first Porsche. Now when I rent cars while on the road for work I'm poking the key into the dash looking for the ignition

Some will disagree, even though it's designed as such, all that heat jammed into such a concentrated area has to be detrimental to adjacent plastic, rubber, cables, wires, etc.
The engine fan is designed to turn on when the temperature in the engine compartment is getting high, however if the 997 is like the 996, it works by pushing outside air down, not pulling air up through the engine compartment (I presume this is to keep the engine bay temp lower overall). Leaving the lid open maybe detrimental to this function. The car was designed to be operated in warm climates, even with the hood closed.
