Nice story. I too love the Whites Sands pictures and still can't believe your great gas mileage. I do just about all city driving and average about 12 MPG racing from stoplight to stoplight. I'm also partial to the color--love it on my CS.

Wow, neighborhood indeed, 356! Watch for my carmon red CTT and I'll do the same in watching for your silver (?) CTT!

Statman - where in Wisconsin are you from? We have a house in Appleton where I have my company, although I don't have a P-car there, they did just get a Porsche dealership...

I don't think it's a Bose amp.....

Kooser - are you serious about the Led & Pink guys comment? I know you're joking. But, since you do speak one of those other languages I just had to ask - maybe there is a hidden meaning I am missing. MadFox - stand by to translate please.

I've heard a lot of various terminology when it comes to modifying a cayenne, but this is a first time I've come across "Led & Pink". Can someone, please, clarify? :-D

This may or may not be relevant....

I have the same whistle. They put some silicone in the seam that didn't help - I've seen posts that imply that it may be the autobahn tape. Good luck! It goes away after 140mph when you bring the mirrors in

The whistle will change if you 'retract' the mirrors while you're driving.
Simple enough to merely ask for the TSB to be done.
BTW, no I don't believe it is the Autobahnd film applied; I believe it's simply the design of the seal...which is addressed ONLY if you complain about it (hey, that's what the TSB says)

How can you see behind you when you retract the mirrors? What TSB retracts the mirrors?

No TSB required.
Simply rotate the **** on the driver's side A pillar to the 6 o'clock position (CW or CCW) and the mirrors will electrically retract (at any speed).
Interesting to note the wind noise changes.
