Center Cap Alignment
Our yearly reminder! Yes, this is a real thing. The emblem on your wheel should be pointing at the valve stem. This is a long tradition for Porsche, check your caps and make sure they're pointing in the right direction.

Do I still have to do this if my center caps have the color worn off of them?

Oh. The best part is that as we were walking away my boy says "uh oh. It has water on it!".

Guess he is going to be a proper Porsche owner when he grows up :lol:

There is also a cheap ass 991 turbo can that parks there too bringing the neighborhood value down :lol:
Just how the freak do the owners get either of those out with that ginormous Chebbie truck parked directly behind them. Another question is: I wonder how often that kid puts his sticky fingers on the windows.

I don't know if the owner was in the office and just parked the truck there or if that is an antitheft strategy.

That kid possibly has some of the least sticky kid hands in the world (it's a relative) and also unlike most kids he understands respecting other people's cars (doesn't open our doors if we are parked next to another, doesn't touch, makes sure he doesn't rub against them, etc..). He's a good kid.
