Fun fact in all of the owners manuals since forever it always says “we wish you many safe and pleasurable miles driving in your PORSCHE.”

This seems like a good topic, however I suggest adding chapters so we can skip to the content that we're interested in. That way people who have the time can watch the whole video and people that have less time can watch what is important to them.

Porsche owners run the gamut from those with a lot of knowledge of vehicles and those who do not. I've encountered a member (thankfully few) who was proud of the fact that his 912 has its original tires (on it). Yikes. Not a thing to be proud of. My point is this video can't please everyone but can provide some things that maybe we don't know.

How do I get an Owner's Manual for my 2012 Carrera S 991? I purchased the car in May 2023 as a CPO, but it had no OM. I have been asking the dealer for it, and a year later I still don't have one. I just found out how to spray my headlights with the water nozzels...LOL! So, do you have an Owner's Manual for my 2012 CS 991?
@xtnuser53387 ай бұрын
"We have thousands of engineers. You're not smarter than them." Maybe. Maybe not. But we understand that they are working under certain regulatory, cost, manufacturing and other constraints. Their design goals and parameters used by the engineers may be different than what an owner feels is optimal to suit his personal priorities. For example, I happen to like a tiny bit of front toe out on my 991.2 3RS, regardless of what the manual recommends as a track alignment. I like the turn-in better, and I'm comfortable with the lower stability under hard braking, at least within what is reasonable for me at the track I frequent. You can line up all the genius engineers and test drivers you want, to each have a turn telling me why it's a bad idea, but you can't be me with my driving feel preferences.

Well Dan, theres alot of others that disagree with you. We are not children . We are car enthusiasts , who know something about our vehicles and want to learn MORE! Something unique that is not common knowledge! To most people driving their Porsches. I don’t have the time to be entertained and talked to like a simpleton or a child. The video was presented as learning something not common about our cars . It did not deliver . I don’t want to sound disrespectful , but PCA should take constructive criticism and work to improve the information and presentation for future videos. Thank you
