Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I'd rather have a clean car and stop for 10 or 15 minutes when I'm hungry or need a coffee.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a '99 996 and have found a cheap little fold-up Porsche logo'd drink holder I would like to mount in the cockpit. If I put it UNDER the leather(ette) pad on the side of the lower console can I drill in 1/2 inch into the carpeted panel and not hit some fluid or electric line? To clarify I was going to put it on the passenger side under the pad your need would hit on the lower console drilled into the carpet. What do you think?
Was the "Leaving your drink at home" a serious post?
Generally when I'm enjoying getting to or coming from an adult gathering it is critical to keep a steady BAC. You don't want it to spike or crash as it could cause impairement while driving. Safety First!
One of my pet peeves is NO food or drink in the car. My wife insists on always taking a water bottle or stopping for food and getting stuff all over the interior...drives me nutz!
Yeah, I was serious about leaving the drink at home. I don't eat or drink in my car - it keeps the interior amazing clean.
I'd rather have a clean car and stop for 10 or 15 minutes when I'm hungry or need a coffee.
You think it was an oversight by Porsche to
not
put cup holders in?
The Ultimate Cup Holder is the best solution, since if you spil or drip anything, it will land on the mat, and not the stereo, NAV, A/C unit, etc. I keep mine on the passenger side, so my leg doesn't bump into a bottle or cup.
When my wife got in, and saw it sitting on her side, she asked what it was. I told her it was part of the Vario Cam system!
Unless you are a woman just stick it between your legs. If it styrofoam or other fast food you are running a chance of the lid popping off. Or back pack on passenger seat so there;s a spot between door and pack to keep a big mug happy. This is all BS when it comes to hard cornering. Start an IV and hang it from the rear view if driving hard
