Who did your work? Would you mind telling me the total cost of your repair?

turbobob is infamous around these parts
I had the same thing happen on a motorcycle. It turned out to be a bad battery. The battery tested 12.6 on a volt meter but apparently under load it was no good. Changed the battery and it was fine. How old is the battery in your car and is it a Porsche battery as factory batteries don't seem to last too long.

Unfortunately the ebrake needed to be pulled after pushing it slightily uphill into that spot. Obviously you where nowhere to be found at 4:30am to help out!

Well, after 3 days of diagnostic work the dealership found a faulty DMI relay. A $20 part, $20 shipping cost, and $400 in diagnostic work. I guess it could have been a lot worse! The car is back on the road.
