JD, sounds like Project M96 enjoys Jetskiing (and as the owner of one myself I tend to agree
as they are Moocho fun). That being said JD, that "Thing" in the photo suffocating that poor
dude couldn't fit on a jetski (at least to keep it afloat) and B. it would NEVER fit into a Boxster
so your logic is as they say my friend....flawed ?

Now as for the OP asking for input, I've put my King Solomon crown on here to
think this out....He's your Pops. You GOTTA let him borrow the Box. Just let him
know that any damage incurred will be taken care of BY Pops if any does happen
to occur. Lay something down for the "oily, stainy, smelly pot of food" so it does no
damage if spilling should occur. By letting him actually DRIVE it all those complaints
he had about it will disappear. If you care I mean.

It sounds like you've resolved the "letting my GF drive it" thing with the illustration
you made. But this is the far more tricky aspect of this IMO. Because if she DOES
continue to bring it up, then you have a far different problem on your hands. I
could recommend renting something that is stick and letting her drive that and
"learn" how to drive stick better, but can you even rent stick ? Also we all know
EVERY clutch in EVERY vehicle is different and takes a certain learning curve to
adjust to its nuances. This could end up being the thornier issue.

At the end of the day I guess I would take Johnny Danger's advice
