It does amaze me that a beautiful ,elegant ,sohisticated and in most areas very neat woman can get into a car on a first date (in some cases) like a cavewoman . It's a first impression and in some way it may even be thought of a minor difference in style .

OK .. maybe one might brush it off . After all .. it's just a little dirt on floor . Besides lots of others climb in and out of the car as passengers who do the same thing .At least she has other appealing features making it easier to overlook .

... still gotta vacuum the mat though.

 

I find that a left hand on the door sill getting in and getting out helps a bit. Someone ought to make a mod for a hand pad.

 

Personally, I don't care about the dirt and other mess, it will come clean, and it is just a car. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but getting dirty, is not going to get me upset. Also I run the 996 Euro GT3 seats, so good luck sliding *** first in it.

 

Are you guys crazy?

No one gets in my car unless they are wearing this:
disposable PP coverall with hood and boots

Oh - and they must have bathed within twelve hours ...

 

C'mon you guys. If only you had shelled out some extra $$$ you could have got a limited "donut" edition of the 997.2 and saved your seats from all the wear and tear.

Mine even comes painted to color match the exterior at no extra cost; A $280.00 savings. Last I checked ... it is only available on the 4-wheel drive models...wonder why

 

Sorry, just had to say that to voice my frustration with all the limited editions being produced at an alarmingly high rate especially those without any performance upgrades.

 

Running start, feet first, and the key in left hand...

 

And right hand on the gear shifter.

 

I do this too. I guess I'm not as **** as I thought!

 

Old ( me ) and fat people get in butt first, which is what I do unless my kids are watching - then I have to go the 'athletic' route. Thanks for the excuse; from now on I'll try to remember to click mt feet a couple of times to avoid the slurs.

 

So interesting... I've actually gotten in the habit of closing my door using one or two fingers on the window just above the top of the door. Doesn't flex the window, and doesn't scratch any paint, and doesn't take forever. I hate when people grab door handles or the edge of the door and leave tiny scratches...

 

Well said - couldn't agree more! I find my self agonizing over crowded parking lots and valet-only restaurants to the point it's not fun anymore. I'll do my best to protect her, but sometimes you just gotta quit worrying about it and live a little!

 

I push the driver door closed with one finger on the keyhole - no fingerprints on paint or glass and it's easy! Can't exactly do the same with passenger door.

And my problem with people closing doors with the window is not really fingerprints, but misaligning the window with the motor rails - can be a costly repair for power windows!

 

than the dirt. I try to get in butt first, but I've almost stopped worrying about this. I have a 2 and half yr old son that rides with me everyday and he drops snacks all over my car, so I just get it detailed once a week and enjoy the drive. When the little stuff starts to get to me I enjoy the car less

 

+1 on that.

And +1 on closing the doors by the window. I hate when people do that!
