It happened and yes I was warned. - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

The past week has been sunny and warm. I am new to the Boxster and have driven the car almost everyday since it was brought home.

I have read as much as possible and thought I had learned what to do. So for any other newbies out there listen up.

It starts with this week weather in the 80s and top down sunshine all day. It my job I drive to different locations and sometimes on a tight schedule. Yesterday and day before was two of those. So I was hurting from place to place to meet clients and left top down while parked outside. So I drove all day for two days in a row with the top down.

Yes my head is on fire! Please someone remind me again to put the ballcap on when I get in car. I don't feel any blisters but my hair will not be brushed for a week now.

Man I love this car!!!!!!!

I keep a porsche hat in the car all the time. It's not allowed to leave under any conditions.

No hat = no fun, when no hair.

I know. LOL. I have read it so many times, maybe now it will sink in to this bald head of mine.

My first convertible so a learning curve is in place. I am at the apex!

When you're as bald as I am (completely), you always cruise around with sunscreen AND at least one ball cap in the car.

I'll be testing that out in August; going to my first ever NASCAR race at Pocono. We will be taking 2 lane roads all the way down, why rush?

If the weather is good, the roof will be folded the entire trip.

Yes, always keep a Porsche cap in the car!

I keep two caps and two sets of sunglasses in the Jägermobile.

Crap, now I understand why my bald spot was hurting. Been driving with the top down the whole week!

I can loan you one of my undercover wigs . Jager has borrowed one in the past .

Thanks Danger, the only problem with that is my wife. She might hit on me while I am wearing it then I would now for sure. I don't know how you live all those lives and keep them separate. For me I will just have to keep mixing sunscreen and rogaine together.

Nieuwhzn, my advice to you is do as I did and enjoy the pain. :dance: it is worth it, but now remember the hat and or sunscreen from here out.

With our lily white skin, my wife and I keep 2 hats and 2 pair of sun glasses in the car all year round.
