Why not use this for towing with a Porsche?

Until today, I never saw visual representations of fingernails dragged on a chalk board.

I'm sure the cooling system and suspension will love being used to tow a trailer. At the very least, it will be a great opportunity for one of those great canyon runs - making use of the cars incredible handling, balance and responsiveness! And just think, you could add on some truck mirrors so that you can see behind you - I'm sure you could bolt them directly on the doors. Of course, the dummy switches on the dash would work perfectly for electric brakes. You may want to rasie the suspension, although you can probably increase ground clearance by going to skinny rims with high profile tires. No doubt about it, much more fun as a tow vehicle than a Cayenne! My mind is spinning with the various mods I could make to my Boxster and, afterall, I do need to make a dump run.......

Last week I had an air cooled 911 take a dump on a test drive and would not start. Had to call a tow truck, thinking this would be a nice business expense. :dance:
