Driver's Accessories

I once saw a list showing the top 10 Porsche Driver's Accesories.


The list contained items such as: Good Tire Pressure Gauge, Good Set of Road Maps, GPS, Driving Gloves, and the #1 accessory was somebody in the passenger seat to share the experience.

Do you have anything else to add to the list?

You either live in Maryland, Florida, or Toronto.

Those were the only 3 cannibalism stories I heard about this week.

All Joking aside I carry one large black plastic trash bag in the frunk.

Why? I am constantly looking for an excuse to drive my car, and running to pick up fajitas take out is a weekly occurrence in my house. The LAST thing I want is my car smelling like food or having something spill. I have used that one big plastic bag at least 50 times over the last 6 months for various chores. Love it.

One mobile 1 0-40, put a Velcro sticker on the side of the bottle and the bottle will stick to the side wall carpet of your trunk and won't bounce around. Never know when you may be low on oil and in my area it's not easy to find 0-40

Nothing in the car (we don't do rain). In the frunk I keep a small zippered bag with - 2 qts. Mobile 1, 1 gal. of distilled water, 4 micro-fiber towels to wiper her down. Nothing else needed for a good time in a Porsche. Warranty card and AAA card in the wallet for emergencies - never had one.
