For regular driving, I've got it in there. When I go to the track or auto-X, it comes out.

Thanks for the replies, guess I will just leave my spare in. It will probably be worthwhile in the long run. The last time I had to call a tow was on my Boxster due to a bad water pump - and had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck. Would hate to go thru the same with a tire if I can change it myself in .20 min.

Would you change your own tire and put on that bicycle spare or would you just call for a tow?
you know two of my other cars didnt even come with a spare.

but as both the 996's we have did, they just sit in the trunk. if you really need storage space, you have the backseat anyways.


or make two trips and enjoy the drive!
