Porsche Positions

Porsche Positions

With your sweetheart (or someone else’s)…

Be very careful to avoid shifters, the steering wheel and anyone with an inseam longer than 32 inches.
Opening the doors can be very helpful (except in shopping center parking lots)
Recaro seats are certainly not your friends in this case
Discourage use of tall boots, panty hose and/or tight jeans

Lock the doors but leave your sunroof open for ventilation
Turn off cell phones, radar detectors, sound systems (and oh yea)… the motor
Set your hand brake, stretch and warm up to avoid serious injury.

For the optimum experience… get a room!

Any other suggestions or experiences to share?

do not set the handbrake unless you are both in the same seat

Ya, but we dented a hood that way once. A reclined passenger seat is good but if she has heels on, and if she gets startled by some nosy passerby, she can leave quite a scratch on the dash. And then of course if your regular girlfriend later asks about the dash scratch, you start mumbling incoherently or start fiddling with the stereo.

But if you're 16 yrs old and only have a vw bug with the rear seat back missing, lots of room for fun back there.

Sounds great for truckers and the Harley crowd but could be hazzardous to the P-car... Qutoes miught be:"Sorry officer I couldn't see you out my rear view mirror" or "Save the butt driving for your ATV"

Don't think that no one has used the hood for just that. I've fixed more than a couple hoods with "questionable" dents in it. Also one with two petite dents in the roof just behind the sun roof.

One from personal experience.
Late at night in a parking lot along PCH. My date was offering up some oral pleasure. Kept complaining about "this thing poking me in the ribs". I thought she was talking about shifter, she meant e brake. I told her to move it. She did ! The parking lot had a very slight slope down to the road and I didn't notice we were moving until we bounced over a parking lot stopper and half way across the side walk. Mood Altering Experience !! Also cost me the front valance

Kevin,

On a related subject: A good friend was trying to help his wife out by taking a very large bag and some of her other discards to the Goodwill depot in North County San Diego. He decided to cruse the Coast Highway rather than simply jumping into the heavy freeway traffic. He lowered his windows, open the sunroof and cranked up an old Beach Boys CD and started sliding down the coast. The ocean breeze started a few items in motion in the 911. One of the items was an old wig she wanted to get rid of. He grabed it just before it flew out and stuffed it in his lap so it wouldn't fly again. He had his arm over the big bag of clothes as he continued up the PCH. In Carlsbad he was pulled over by a local cop. The officer saw the ball of hair in his lap and his arm extended over the bag and said, "If your girl friend will sit up straight, with her seat belt fastened, maybe it will be easier for you to obey the speed limit, sir"
Moral should be: "It doesn't matter what you're doing as long as you look good doing it. But... of course, if you're doing it in a Porsche, you'll probably get stopped."

Perhaps it's time to switch to the other "antique" car...a 1960 Rambler wagon comes to mind. Terrible to drive, but the front seats would fold back flat, making a double bed.

Working at American International Racing our back door led into the Police impound yard in Burbank. Knowing the crew like we did we got to see and hear a lot of stories. One story was of a van whose driver lost concentration and hit a parked car. The drivers g/f was admitted to the hospital with head and neck injuries. The driver was admitted with his penis nearly bitten off.
