Singing along with the radio. Maybe not something you see in Porsche drivers, but others (women mainly) seem to think they're live on stage instead of driving a car.
or...
Playing the radio so loud you have no idea what is happening around you.

Having the bare knees of a tall friend, who refuses to push the seat back, rub on your Black dash, leaving light skin and sneaker marks..

Woot -- You pretty much got most of them but I have a few to add.

1) No dirty clothes -What that means is no jogging and then climbing into the car. No sitting on a dirty seat , getting it onto the clothes , then into the car .

2) Windows -- open sparingly . In short --no window opening in a dusty area . If one must pay a toll and there's dust then open the window less.

3) Pets travel in OTHER cars . Preferrably rentals . In a proper carry on , with seats covered .

4) Smoking -- Not only is it forbidden IN the car but it is forbidden NEAR the car . That means if someone flicks ashes out the window of car in proximity where they could touch mine .. I will honk the the horn and look directly at him. I have no friends who smoke but once a neighbor came to greet me and was holding a cigarette behind his hand out of view . As soon as I smelled it , both widows went down and I excused myself.

5) Regulating passenger entrance --- Children are forbidden entirely . Young adults 18-22 -selectively. Elderly people with bladder issues are forbidden. Overweight people must not pose a risk of breaking the seat or creating unnecessary wear . I will use another car .

5) When getting into the car --it is NOT feet first !!!!! It is butt first , then the feet can kick together and shake the dust onto the outside ground .

6) The Trunk -- ONLY sealed or extremely well packaged food. Absolutely NO Soup via take out.

* Any passenger who disrespects the cleanliness boundaries are usually made aware on the spot --nothing is ignored . They risk the privalege of riding in the car again , and might even lose the friendship .

Interestingly --most of the people I know don't even have to be told . When they see the car they want to show respect for the time and expense that went into it. Many are not as picky with their own cars they just don't focus on such little details . I try to bring it to their attention in as polite a manner as possible because it is supposed to be fun . But It has to be fun for me too . Because it is my car and i am extremely respectful of their cars.

yrralis1 your posts always live up to your reputation. How is that? You are truly my hero. I wish I could meet you sometime in the future. All your points are going on my list of "things not do to" that will be handed out to people who will enter my car.

Well said...
I hate when passengers can't keep their feet on the mats.

I have only seen my father kick his feet together and I thought it was a bit over the top the first time I saw him do that.
I've always wanted to ask passengers to kick their feet together to shake off the dust, but never had the guts.

How about having your girlfriend giving you "oral pleasure" and then hitting a pothole - PAINFUL! Notice I said girlfriend because we all know once they become your wife they won't do that anymore.

So....those cup holders do have a use?!!?! I dont' know if there is enough room for my OBGyn.

The only thing that kind of peeves me is when my passengers try to unlock the door by pulling on the door handle even harder the second time, before I can press the "lock" button in the center.

But, I don't have any rules for the car.

If I ever make it out to your region you can count on two things - 1) It's be great to meet, and 2) if I ride in your car it would remain very clean.

This is a good idea. Print a handout to give to passengers.. I like it! However, for me anyone telling me to slow down annoys me. Don't get in a f.. Porsche if you want to go slow.

Things that irritate me or not allowed in general is..

1. Opening of Sunroof.. GT3 should not have one so dont even remind me by opening..

2. Buttons on pockets of Jeans.. Not even allowed in.. I dont care how careful you say you will be.. Seen the Scar down the seat too many times..

3. Smoking goes without saying.. Not even in my beater dually is it allowed..

4. Closing door by the window.

5. Swamp *** after gym.. Not on my Alcantara center seats.. LOL
