thanks perf. now what about that incredibly complicated radio? also, the cup holders are definitely not designed for americans!!how do i carry my diet coke and sip on the way? what a wonder of german engineering (yikes).did my first mod earlier this afternoon. cost me 2 dollars to get a round convex mirror for drivers side mirror. i admit i put that on every vehicle ive had for many years. sure gets that outside lane and blindspot too. cheap safety.

Congrats! It's beautiful! $600/year for insurance? Wow, I'm totally jealous. Mine's more than double that and I have a great driving record. Gotta love Louisiana. What are the cup holders like? I have a 987 so I'm sure they are different.

thanx love. well, after 47 yrs of no tickets no accidents my record is ok. its not that i have not deserved tickets etc but ive been careful and watchful. the "cup holders" are dinky. cant hold anything of volume. i need some sort of after market cup holder that will hold my 20 oz coke.

That's because you're supposed to be driving, not drinking. The Germans make fun of us by adding cup holders to the US bound cars that are basically useless.

Beautiful car - congratulations!

Here is an option for you. Not inexpensive but works well for me with an occasional bottle of water. I'm sure it will work equally well with a 20 ounce Coke.

These were what the p.o. of my car had installed. They're fine but I sold them the day after I took possession. I agree with the Germans on this one. I've been driving for over 20 years and never had the need to drink while driving. Plus it keeps the interior from staining.

I guess I lucked out because whenever they started with the cupholders I have, they are awesome. And I drink fairly often when I drive (no, not liquor, just water, coke) and it's hard for me to drive holding it. When I drove an automatic I could just put a cup between my legs but there's too much going on with a 5-speed to hold a coke there. My Lexus had awful cup holders. If you turned a corner the whole drink would tip over.
