depressed clutch switch

for those boxter/cayman owners out there that have not yet experienced a failure of subject switch, your time is coming.
Your car wont start and you are in for a tow job.
us survivalists out here have prepared a short wire jumper with 0.25 spade lugs on each end that easily replaces the crappy switch supplied by Porsche. The jumper will get you home and allow you to replace the switch with another crappy switch that will soon fail. Beware that if you have this jumper installed, you can start the car without depressing the clutch.
I have a 2010 boxter on its 3rd switch. All were warranty replacements but thats little comfort if you arent parked in a dealers lot when the switch fails.
