They used to sell a small enamel emblem that fit the steering wheel perfectly, but mounting anything else is very dangerous. Unless of course, you want a Porsche crest permanently imprinted on your face.

I would disconnect the battery before you attempt to pry that off.

That's equivalent to a shotgun slug fired straight to your face.

One more thing. Are you testing to see if your fuel low warning light actually work? I think most of us wouldn't run our fuel level that low.

I think that is one of the cars that Woody is taking apart. It looks like it was a "toasty" day in Texas - 101 degrees.

It's called doing Aerodynamic Testing, or at least that's what my dad claimed when he ran out of gas in his 944.

Yes that's a car I was testing right before i removed the engine and transmission. That glued on emblem is out of character from the rest of the car. It had a recently replaced factory motor with only maybe 10,000 miles and brand new brakes
