Need help with top things not to do in a car.
Sorry I originally posted this on the off-topic forum. This is a repost; hoping to get more action.
I am trying to make a list of things for others not to do when they are in my car. In other words think of the top things that bother you the most when other people sit in your car or drive your car (not that the latter happens very often if at all to most of you)
My problem is that there are quite a few friends/relatives of mine who want to test drive it and I do not want a Porsche owner (in this case me) to be construed as rude, impolite and "showy". So if you can help me with the list by coming up with more stuff and also add good/funny tagline (whenever possible) to go with the dont's that would go a long way for me. I have utmost admiration and respect for the 6speeders, so do not let me down.
Thinking of things that irritate me the most, here is what I have come up with in no particular order.
1. Not taking time to pull the seat belts slowly all the way and not making sure they retract
flat and don't curl up or fold over.
2. Dinging the car next to you when you open the door.
3. Stepping on the door sills and transferring all the body weight on the side bolster of the
seat when getting off the car.
4. Riding the brakes all the time when going downhill.
5. Eating food or consuming drinks, car is not a mobile restaurant. (this is the comment to
go with the message that I was implying).
6. No smoking...do I even have to say that (no offense to the smokers in this forum).
7. Not engaging the handbrake lever when parking the vehicle.
8. Shift into drive while the car is still coasting backwards
9. Keep the stereo, wipers, climate control and all of those accessories on when you start
the car.
10. Absolutely no farting allowed. (can't think of a funny comment here)
I CAN"T IMAGINE ANYONE WANTING TO COME IN MY or DRIVE MY CAR NOW....WASN'T THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS EXERCISE
