Your 911 pictures look like the car isn't open - did you drive it open or closed? I drive an old Saab convertible and it's open as much as possible, especially on our California autobahn. I keep hoping to hire a Porsche but haven't yet reached that treat; I'm patient. Maybe it helps that I already drive a convertible.
Thank you very much for your kind words, gaobest...
I drove it closed on the Autobahn and open on slower roads. In California I would of course drive open whenever possible as well...

They certainly have break-in guidelines Justin Case, although I very much doubt that anyone renting a Porsche really cares about them..

Hopefully you turned S+ on . AVIS had a LH 2000 miles rental promotion,so got those too after claiming. Now they have another promotion.

Thanks a lot Jaenks!
Is there another mode than S+?
I also claimed the 2000 miles, hopefully this promotion is still valid.
The afterwork promotion just goes to show how car-crazy the Germans are. 149 euros for a night out in a Porsche is really a good deal.
