I did over pay for my car, I also over paid for my shoes, it was enjoyable, I will do it again. 3. The potential I am hoping to achieve is to transport my dog to the park at a moderate speed every day. 4. My car is not as fast as a lot of cars, I can tell you this keeps me up at night but I hope to put some more stickers and stripes on it which will make it go faster. 5. This one is my favorite, I can just see you getting to #5 and running out of ideas so you anger typed 'Porsche is boring' then sat back and thought 'that will show him!' Nice!

I have one suggestion to add to help reduce bolster wear when you're getting OUT of the car, which is also a problem. Because the seats are so low and so deep, it's actually pretty easy to put your left hand on the bottom door sill and lift yourself up and forward slightly to reduce dragging yourself across both the bottom and side bolsters. I've used this technique with my prior 911 and another sports car with good results.

Nick, there's a very good reason why dash mounted handbrakes are pushed for ON and pulled for OFF (same as in Mercs). I got out out of my Merc and accidentally knocked the handbrake with my foot. If the handbrake worked in the reverse way, it would have turned off and the car would have rolled away just as I was getting out.

The Handbrake System is similar to Mercedes. This comes from the older Mercedes which had a manual handbrake, tightened by pushing a pedal left beside the clutch. To unlock the handbrake you had to pull a handle left beside the steering wheel.
@lonestranger
7 жыл бұрын
My thoughts exactly. It's not just Mercedes, but most (every?) vehicle with a foot-actuated parking brake releases this way. Foot-actuated parking brakes are very common on American trucks, vans, SUVs, and cars that might be equipped with a full or split bench seat, e.g. :www.ford-taurus.org/taurusinfo/Features/P-brake.jpg Having never driven a vehicle with an electronic parking brake, I'd expect to pull the handle to release it, especially if it was located on the dash below steering column. With the console-mounted switches, pulling up to engage it makes more sense because that's how handbrakes operate.
@paullincoln
7 жыл бұрын
Actually whilst Mercs with foot operated parking brakes use a pulling motion on the hand release handle, the older Mercs like W115 and W123 (if memory serves me right) are full hand operated. Engagement is by hand pulling a handle and release is twist and push. But its ok... whatever 911 dishes out... i'll take

I put two old seat cushions in my garage aeons ago. Now I just drive up & onto them (front wheels only!). The cushions prevent the front tires from 'flat spotting'. On my 993... I spent an afternoon 'snaking' individual lengths of nylon string to both trunk & hood latches. The spring tension on those latches is actually quite strong so a *lot* of pull force, devoid of leverage, is needed. I now have individual backups to opening my trunk & hood if the cables etc. ever fail. FWIW, that 'spare battery & cables to a micro connector' workaround is for the birds.

You actually brought up great points. Here are my thoughts about your points since I drive a daily Boxster and Cayman: 1. The opposite direction of the electric e-brake took some time to get used to, but it's become second nature now. To avoid my car sliding backwards, I just developed the good habit of putting my gear into park and then putting my e-brake on before getting out all the time. 2. Even before getting these cars, I actually asked myself what I'd do if the battery went dead since some of my older cars have dead batteries. I looked it up and realized it would be unfortunate to have that happen in a Porsche and not have access to the battery. So I bought a portable battery and jumper cable kit on Amazon.com. I currently have the pack behind the driver's seat in case I need it. 3. There are no rear seats in the Boxster or Cayman... 4. I subconsciously worry about wearing the side bolsters of my seats, so I tend to get in carefully like you do. I'm glad I'm not the only one that worried about this. 5. This noise scared me the first time I drove these cars. For the record, it doesn't have to be East Coast cold, it could be California cold and this will still happen. I enjoy your vlogs so keep it up!

The most useful hint for me here, Nick, was your suggestion to simply place the hand on the bolster before grunting my way into the seat. Sounds like a simple solution but it never occurred to me with my Boxster and I ended up with that unsightly wear and tear. I just picked up a Cayman S and hope to get in the habit of placing my hand there, sooner than later. I'd write more but I see my car rolling out into South Main Street so I gotta gooooooooooooooo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You were right about the color scheme of your car and those wheels are outstanding, not sure why more people dont check that box.

You wouldn't have to worry as much about the side bolster wear problem if you got into the car differently. I step in with my right foot first and then lower myself onto the seat, rather than sitting into the seat/on the bolster first and then spinning into the car. It may seem awkward at first, but it's so much easier and causes far less bolster wear. My '13 C4S bolsters still look perfect (with a more fragile "natural" leather option, too).

My buddy and I normally throw our two sets of golf clubs in the back if you fold the seats down and we still have room for our coolers in the F-runk, its great, another reason why the 911 is more practical then...for example my friends Corvette

OMG! So glad that the dash cam was on for that! I freaked out twice. First for the car. Then because the dogs were coming to help. Just glad it turned out ok. Nice catch by the way.

I’ve wired leads from the battery to a spot behind the wheel well shroud to hook up a battery charger or emergency jumper. No opening the hood to leave a better charger/ conditioner. Cheap and easy way to help your battery last longer and get you out of a jam quicker. Cheers!

Haha luckily you have a flat garage and parked straight so it didn't scrape the sides! Great you're back at it with the videos once receiving the car, always enjoy them!

Nick, IMO the engine off button is even more counterintuitive than the electronic brake switch. As you know, the red light button on normally means function engaged. But for engine off the red button is on when function is not engaged and red button is off when engine off function is engaged. I learned this when I stopped at a traffic light and engine stopped and red light was off. I seriously started to look for my Porsche "get out of jail" card. I think design is an example of Teutonic humor. :-)
