Exactly! Out of all the threads/post I have read on ANY Porsche forum around the web=world I have seen one case of someone sucking in a cigarette,which then lead to the air filter catching on fire and then a ruined engine. BUT THAT WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT! Porsche updated the driver's side intake grill to ensure that a object such as a cigarette doesn't get sucked in. The only other weird object I have ever heard of someone sucking in their intake was a screw or nail(can't remember which) but that's it,it was sucked in and stopped at the filter.
