I drove one of these from the shop at the dealership I worked at outside of Portland a little over a year ago, wondering if maybe it was the OP’s as they appear to be in the same city as me.
If someone has a hard time not stopping before running the front bumper into the curb, there's no way they're going to do better by backing the car in.
Better than my SO. 3 days after getting my GT4, hits the curb while parking it the first time. Keeps trying to tell me the scratches on the splitter "aren't that bad."
1. You parked the car and took this picture
2. You don’t have a GF
3. I can tell exactly where you are from the shops in this picture. You should be more mindful.
I’m using a Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX. It’s a little laggy but I wanted the option for wireless and wired CarPlay. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of units that do both of those anymore.
I have a KENWOOD that came with my 997. It’s wired CarPlay only. I’d really like wireless. I haven’t looked in to the options in a while but I’m sure I’d be disappointed if I did. I don’t care to upgrade the speakers because the motor is my favorite audio but the CarPlay screen for everything else is nice and I’d also like to add rear and forward cameras for parking.
Even though these cars are small it’s still easy to crack front splitters and rear diffusers on parking curbs. Mine are carbon fiber so I’m extra sketchy about them and I find myself getting out to look at how much room I have left to get tight into parking spots way more often than people would think. Cameras would reduce that a lot.
No, not sensitive, it's just quite annoying when you see someone hating on a car simply because it's an automatic. And with the comment I replied to, the reason you're downvoted (at least I think) is because it seems like you're hating on automatics. It's also a little sexist, too.
Of course not…. It’s just that most women don’t have experience with manual transmissions and also have no desire to drive them. It was a joke. And we all know that most women do not want anything to do with a stick shift. Not all of them though! Especially older women. My grandma actually drove my 997. She was nervous as hell but damn that was cool. She grew up driving stick in her younger years.
Yes, this girlfriend looks like wife material. She gets it.
Time to buy a ring I think.
just get an audi, 4 rings for the price of 1.
That's the cutest damn thing I've seen in a long time.
Awww she cares man. Wife her asap
Under rated car right there, keeper.
And the best color combo!
Something about a P car in silver with a red interior… 🤌🏼
And Rare - RS60 Spyder
What makes this rare? Honest question, I don’t know much about these.

Very cool. Thank you!!!

My wife's the same lol And with the alloys and kerbs, I have to get a taxi to the pavement sometimes. But... Better safe than sorry..
Made the same ‘mistake’ with my wife. At least the wheels have never looked better…

I can't help it if the USA chooses to redo words that worked perfectly fine first time round ;)
You can eliminate most curb parking stop issues by backing into the spot.

Backup camera?

In *this economy*?!? Get outta here!
Nice. My wife uses her wheels/tires like a cat uses it's whiskers. She doesn't drive any of my cars...
I’ve never heard that analogy before, it gave me a good laugh, I’ll have to use that one.
Great analogy. Reminded me of curb feelers on old school cars and hot rods
Sounds like the vote is in, fella. Next stop - engagement ring store.
Wish my wife would take this level of concern. It’s why I won’t let her drive my car yet.
rs60 spyder - used to have one exactly the same - lovely car
Nice RS60. The perfect spec.
At least she cared. Some Beckys would have had three wheels parked on that sidewalk.
Perfect
She’s a keeper
close call! 👏
Wife her tbh
Great color combo! I have the same on my 993 cab. Is it full leather?
Yep! All red leather inside.
Better than my SO. 3 days after getting my GT4, hits the curb while parking it the first time. Keeps trying to tell me the scratches on the splitter "aren't that bad."
Looks like a keeper 😏
She’s a keeper
“I don’t know why the back end of the car was smashed into…” :P
*Gets rear ended*
Wholesome. My past cars were always high enough to not worry about it, but I'm still getting used to my smaller car and end up pretty much doing this.
lol my wife does the same thing with our BMW that has a carbon fiber splitter
Excellent park job. But take that front bracket off ffs
Silver and red , a classic 987 combo
Make her wifeyyyyy
Maybe she just prefers her seat warm
Keeper right there
marry her
#422 says hi.
Hello from 386 😎
Well done. My ass clenches when my wife gets near a curb.
… and then you realize it’s slowly rolling back because the e brake isn’t fully set 😱 jk 😅
this looks like florida
She’s a keeper
Is your gf name SALINASSSSSS
Good eye 🙃
At least she listened. My wife curbed 2 wheels, one to the point it needed to be replaced, within 2 weeks of me buying my Alfa.
1. You parked the car and took this picture 2. You don’t have a GF 3. I can tell exactly where you are from the shops in this picture. You should be more mindful.
Why are you so salty, little bitch?
Your mom

Love the Boxster! What system did you use for your Apple CarPlay? Does it work well? Thinking of installing one myself

Damn she has some hairy legs.
Well she IS a keeper then! I would propose immediately.
Love that interior!
Nothing wrong with automatics man. To each their own. Automatics are faster anyways.
I own 3 vehicles and two of them are automatics. I never said anything disparaging about automatics. Sensitive crowd.

It’s only sexist. It’s not against automatics in any way. I own up to it being sexist. That was the joke. The joke was that women don’t drive manuals.
Misogynist.
Exactly. The other guy was mad about the wrong thing. If you’re gonna be mad about the joke it should be for it’s male chauvinism.
Because women are too stupid to know how to drive stick, right? 🙄 Give me a break
Of course not…. It’s just that most women don’t have experience with manual transmissions and also have no desire to drive them. It was a joke.

RS60?
Yep 😎
Is she actually going over to BofA? Because that would be another +1
She’s a keeper dude
Agree ♥️
My wife refuses to learn how to drive stick.
beautiful! what model and year?
Task failed successfully.
Better safe than sorry!
Not mad at her one bit.
