I agree with those that say it works as DD. My 912, 911, and 914-6 did it. Yeah, stuff like brakes and tires won't last as long. But it can be fun with the right roads.

The worst problem in my opinion would be a very short commute where the engine never gets to operating temp and the water and contaminates do not get expelled. And stop and go traffic that also can kill your clutch leg.

Mine's not a DD, but it does get utilitarian service like trips to the grocery or liquor store. I call it Boxstercise. I've had up to $430 worth of groceries in it and only used the passenger seat for a jumbo pack of paper towels.

I have a rule though: Never make any short trip (less than the engine takes to hit operating temp). I don't use the local stores with the Box cuz they are only a coupla miles away.
