I have not driven a 987, but in most new cars I do get headaches from the chemicals that are released. The new car smell is great, but it comes from a bunch of new materials breaking down/in and releasing gasses. That may be the cause for you. With me, it's lasted about a month after we got the car, but it's been 7 years since we purchased anything new.

Sometimes when I eat Taco Bell I get exhaust gases in the cockpit.

Possibly Jantje 111 is suffering from one of two very rare diseases. Please understand that I am not a doctor...but I did play one once on TV!!

1) He could be suffering from grinitus- this can happen when the facial skin is stretched, and held for long periods of time, from a muscle pulling phenomena, that usually spans from ear to ear. This is also known as humungus-grinus.

2) The other possibility could be- ohmygodthiscarisfu$ckingfast. I think this one is self explanatory.

Again, as a disclaimer, just in-case he is an attorney, I am not a doctor, and past performance is in no way indicative to future results!
