Good luck to you both. It is helpful to share what seats and tricks helps one through trial and error and share with others. At least at first glance your hardware looks intact.

Dan: T12 and L2 burst fractures fixed from a left sided thoracotomy synthes synex cage and isola screws and rods, probably done in the late 90s (common cause for fractures at those levels: seatbelt injury, snowboarding, hanging up Christmas lights)
Alan: degenerative lumbar spine, fused L3 to S1 with static titanium interbody cages and medtronic legacy screws rods and crosslink, probably done within the last 8 years
with proper care and service, these spinal enhancements should not interfere with your ability to drive and enjoy your Porsche.
Marc, do not sell your car, get your back fixed, and get out there and drive.

Alas, traded the C2S for a 750i xDrive
From sublime to ridiculous? Perhaps, but the new car is a beaut, and is awesomely comfortable as my new DD. It was a little bit of a sad day to drive away from such a beautiful car, but three days later, and my back is already less inflamed...
Not that the back of my mind doesn't also have a narrative that "...maybe I could've found a seat position that would work."
I'm also confident that Porsche will build me another one when it's time! At this point, I just couldn't pull off the 911 as a daily driver with no other long-haul car in the family. It was putting a crimp in our style, and I couldn't see a way around it.
I got a trade from the BMW dealer that let me walk away from my lease (about $78,800), though it was a trade and might really have been closer to $75,000. It's at Passport BMW on their website at $81,980.
I'll look forward to your supportive vibes as I lurk until my next pcar!
Thanks for all the support all along!
