RN you know the rear trunk is actually the Porsche bread warmer! Cold stuff goes in the front trunk. or in the passenger foowell with AC blasted there with all other vents fully closed.

also get one of those cold/hot insulated bags. They will keep things frozen or hot for a hour or 2

The trunk is also the Pizza warmer Perfect size for a couple of extra large pies LOL

I believe that proves the corollary to Einstein's theory of relativity: the distance to any given point is relative to whether it is sunny and you are driving a Boxster.

Craig I am right there with you

My wife loves the fact that I do all the driving for errands and thinks the Porsche is a godsend to her.
