Just get a fucking car...
It would handle better and keep you dry.

Not sure why people go with the "worst of both worlds"

You mean like that Canam reverse trike things?

Let's be 1) outside in the weather and 2) have something that you can't lane split, or park in any available gap.

The oil filler cap my MGB had on it has a little metal dial that can turn to indicate the oil brand. Sort of interesting, albeit pointless. Never seen another like it:

Interesting stat buried inside latest @CARmagazine “In 2019 Porsche made 280,000 vehicles, 192,000 of them being SUVs” Translates into 911, Boxster, Cayman & Panamera only making up approx 32% of sales. Changing times but mirrors what’s happening in the market right now..

In the US in 2019 Porsche sold 22,667 Macans, which is 2,897 more cars than the 911, Panamera, and Boxster/Cayman combined! And 19,001 Cayennes were sold, too.

As an owner Im ok with that.
If they are an SUV company that uses those profits to support their sports cars - thats fine.
And they are damn fine SUVs.

I do find it funny when you talk to a Macan owner who says "Ive always wanted to own a Porsche" - was this about owning the brand name or about experiencing the legendary sportscars?
