Porsche Blasphemy Thread!!

Today while driving my 911, I did at least 4 things that would make some Porsche owners' heads explode!

1) I drove it in the rain
2) While on a dirt road
3) While using a cup holder
4) While smoking a cigar
5) While wearing a Lexus hat

Can anyone top that??

#7 with a woody shift knob

There is a "do you drive your 911 in the rain" thread on the tech forum right now. That's just ridiculous. With regular harmonica bumper car owners weighing in on the subject. Hello? Your $15k Porsche is not a museum piece!

Interior is Can Can red...and shift knob on my Rennshift after I broke the OEM one. Ya..the whole driving in the rain thing is what prompted this..

Too funny though....

Not usually. But it started to rain shortly after I lit it, and it's too fine of a cigar to put out and re-light.

When I worked for the dairy and used my 924S at work, I found I could carry 9 cases of milk with the back seat folded.

I must also say, with its skinny snow tired and excellent balance, it made an awesome winter driver. (Until the snow got deep!)

I drive mine in the rain often. I realy dont like leaving it in the garage just because it's raining.
I don't know what the big deal is. (The defrost and heater works in mine ~ SSI's)

I think that's the biggest problem. A lot of P folk have removed their heating system or part there of.
Smoking? I'm trying to quit so I don't smoke in either car.
Not many dirt roads around my place but I do have a friend who lives on a farm who I visit often and yes she has a dirt road leading up to her front door.

Hydro, clearly you need a cool collar and an E-ram. ....maybe some chromed Fuchs.

(I left it alone, George.)
