Theres a pen holder, doesn't mean you write as you drive. If you are holding a hot liquid and you are suprised your brain will try and assess the risk between getting burned or taking avoiding action... if it was a child thats just run out in front of you chances are you will collect them...can you live with that!!!??? Driving is for concentration and dedicated time, leave the coffee, eating, mobile phone, Sat nav, Radio, hand bag searches, make-up etc until you are parked and you can devote your time to these tasks. There's even clothes hooks.... will you get dressed while driving??
Lots of studies out there that prove your reactions and decisions WILL be impaired.
Its your life BUT what will YOU inflict on OTHERS?!

Mike2016, I commute in my 2007 GT3RS literally everyday, and every single morning I buy my large Starbucks coffee for the 25 mile commute to school. I place a small stack of napkins in front of the shifter for the occasional splash, but that is rare. If a rough patch is coming, I place my finger over the small opening in the lid. I have been doing it this way for a year now with only a couple small splashes that easily cleaned up. Buy one of those fancy mechanical cups, and it eliminates the splashing entirely. The car is an amazing vehicle, and I am very comfortable and happy with it. Best car I have ever owned (and that includes an F40, a 275GTB4, Testarossa, Porsche Turbo, real 65 AC Cobra, among others). I Love it.

My car is mostly a DD, though I ride my motorcycle quite often as well. I might get something else to drive soon, maybe an air cooled P-Car...
Good thing my car has the front lift, the roads here are pretty good, but even then it's a must
Getting into gas stations, with the lift on, one of my front wheels usually goes up in the air(laughs)
Does anyone else notice that?
Best,
JB

I'm going on 7 years with a GT3 as a daily driver. Started with the 996GT3, and have had the 2010 997GT3 for almost 4 years now. My commute is two blocks, and I don't leave La Jolla often. The lift function added to the 997 is a godsend. And the ride is VERY rough, to the point I avoid some streets here in La Jolla. Also, my dental bills are higher since my fillings tend to shake out.
A GT3 as a daily driver does involve some torture but is it serviceable. I'm not looking forward to the drive to Laguna Seca in a few weeks.
