Just when I thought it was over.......
A fellow karting Dad (who owns a 996GT3) comes up to me at a kart race in NY this weekend for the kids and asks me if I got to the track late Friday night and unloaded. I said yes, then wondered why he would ask, suddenly remembering I didn't see his trailer.
Apparently, he is unable to drive his (wife's) Cayenne S at night while towing his small enclosed trailer + (son's) kart......as for some 'unknown' reason, he loses his lights. Thus he is forced to tow only during daylight hours.
He was somewhat surprised, as he took the Cayenne in for service and his Porsche dealer "fixed" it for $180....or so he thought.
Without knowing anything about the story behind "Larry's 3AM Cup car trailer run on the way to the track with 2 Maglites, racer's tape and a case of D batteries", he asked if I had any thoughts/ideas. He described a "beeping", followed by a "Check Trailer Lights" message that he couldn't find in any of the owner's documentation.
That's all I really remember, I seem to have blacked out shortly afterwards and lost track of things a bit.
Somebody get a bigger shovel, apparently we didn't dig a hole deep enough for Larry the first time.

I also recall being haunted by a Cayenne that would be continually parked outside my window, illuminated at night by a "!" on the dashboard.....although my family insists that I never in fact owned a Cayenne and was not stalked by a Cayenne.
Anything else you'd like to know?
