Full CD Changer
EZ Pass on the Windshield
Speedster Humps in the Rear Boot

Other than that, if it didn't come from Porsche, it ain't in there.

What is this "EZ tag" & "EZ pass" that you guys refer to?

It is a device that pays our tolls automatically by sending out a radio wave. They can be set to replenish themselves by debiting a credit card to a pre-set limit.

we have I-Pass, thats prolly the same as those u reffer to, but pretty much u zoom trough toll passes and it scans it and takes money out of ur account without u wasting time and counting coins at the toll booth

edit: damn u beat me to it

Ya know, those border guards might look at you a little less suspiciously if it were spelled "passport" Of course, I would love to have a fake one with it spelled "passaport", it would allow me to pass as Italian

I have:
tire gauge
pull-over fleece for when it's nice (35 degrees+) and I don't have a long sleeved shirt on
hat
winter gloves (in case my un-insulated driving gloves aren't enough)
cell phone charger
I think that's it.. I've learned long ago with convertibles to only carry what's important at the time.
