Ok, I've tried to research the clear or orange side markers. I cannot find an actual picture of one on this site. Any good examples out there?

I accidentally put super unleaded to fill up roughly 1/2 the tank. I thought that it was the same as premium - until I looked at the gas pump across from me. Will my car blow-up or have I caused possible damage?

I have my tire pressures (stock 17 in) at 34's up front and 36's rear tires. I've noticed the tire pressure fluctuates quite a bit, it was in the low 90's today.

Anyone out there have experience w/ PDK's?

Thanks,

Justin (total noob)

Nope, the computer will adjust the engine to your fuel and you just won't get top performance.

No harm done,

I think my trunk or frunk had a sticker from the factory stating that very thing.

I finally made it on the freeway after 3 weeks. I was amazed on how "dialed in" my Boxster felt at 110 mph!

I'm getting close to my first car wash. I've researched this site extensively and this is what I've learned 1) hand wash 2) no automatic wash 3) be careful around the side air intakes 4) minimal washing of the top. Anything last min advice before I wash my car???
