When I first saw him, I almost screamed, "Ma'am, you lost your bra in the pool!", but then I realized it was a dude. It's a disturbing sight, but he's a pretty decent swimmer
Well he'd be more buoyant that's for sure.

That is odd, and inconvenient. Even my wife's old Toyota Highlander had a power tailgate that could be opened and closed manually. It could also be opened/closed with the interior button; the Cayenne, I guess, can only be opened that way.

Very odd. But this was relayed to me by our sales rep (who's a young guy and seems to know what he's talking about) and I haven't checked to see if he was wrong. I'll try to force it up/down a few times. While it's still under warranty

I think he does. I don't have my car yet but I've got a PDF copy (partial) of the owners manual. It gives several options for closing the tailgate and manual doesn't appear to be one of them.

Real men such as myself are truly annoyed by the confines of this feature!

Or Pops could just add one of the trailer-hitch-******** to divert the looks elsewhere.......

Just a suggestion.

Saw one of those on a truck today and immediately thought of Pops and the CTT.

When I think of nuts on a P!G, I think of Dennis C. He's posted a photo before.

Technically, you can open/close the trunk manually. Closing isn't so much an issue, but when you interrupt the opening, it just stops and feels a bit awkward. You can then push it up manually to whatever height you want. Was I not supposed to do this?? Anyhow, this is also how I set up the height of which it automatically opens so it wouldn't hit the garage door.

Yeah, but these matched the color of your CTT

It is obvious, even to someone who is not a "fan" of the product, that a lot of work and taste went into the optioning process.

Nothing happened. I'm not buying one.
If for some reason Larry's widow decided she wanted a Cayenne, I would simply leave her and go back to living with the stripper, the F250 and a double wide....you know, the good old days before Larry died.

Jeez... there goes my theory... I thought that perhaps the not so famous ITC might be a not too distant realative of Larry's
