I need to carry today kilos of chocolate for Christmas ! - and it's not something I would have liked to do with the 986S in the back trunk
Thanks

Why not just put it on the folded down rear seats and turn the a/c up!
I must say - every week I put ice cream, chocolate, frozen vegetables, chilled fruit juices, milk, smoothies, fresh fish/seafood in my front boot and none of them ever get warm from the drive.
I must be the first rennteamer with a Porsche 911 delivery van!
I can just imagine it. All those 911s lined up in Zuffenhausen picking straws to see which one gets which kind of owner. One 911 picks an owner who will take it to the race track every few weeks (sergini). Another 911 gets an owner who will travel across continents taking majestic photos of lakes and mountains (Gnil). And then there's my poor 911 that was destined to be owned by the 'notorious grocery man'. My poor car has to go to the supermarket every week to do my grocery shopping. Can you imagine my 911 in a huge car park filled with 4X4s, minivans, estate cars, hatchbacks etc ? People look and people stare wondering what on earth a car like mine is doing in a place like that!
BUT, rest assured, I do take it for plenty of fast drives too!

I'm wondering why no one thought about placing a simple thermometer in the trunk. Some even tells you what the lowest/highest temperature was.
+1 for what amazon said. A simple thermometer with a maximum and minimum temperature setting should tell the story.
That said, if you do that, don't be surprised your girl/wife has left you when you wake up the next morning. Taht's taking car love to the ultimate level of craziness.

There's one way to find out. Ask a gullible person to get in when you next take the car for a drive. Only joking
Actually, there's even an emergency handle in the front boot so that anyone trapped in there can get out. Gosh, now I'm really proving that I bothered to read the whole manual from cover to cover...sad huh?

So you read both the American and the European manuals sufficiently well to be able to compare them both? Man, you're even sadder than I am!

You're right, I must be.
I'd feel sorry for myself if I had the time. But I'm too busy because of all those car manuals out there that I haven't read yet.

That really sucks. I'm so sorry to hear of your accident. Hope it can be fixed easily and quickly. She should have taken a damn sight more care!

Indeed...and she was like "it's no big deal, will not cost much"...hinting we should not do anything paperwise...but my whole bumper is dead...it needs to be entirely replaced, and I do not see this being cheap. Anyway, I am mostly annoyed because of the trouble going to the garage etc, and because the lovely butt of my car is not as sexy as it should be

The front trunk does get very hot. There has to be some type of engine-related equipment close to it. I've carried soft-sided ice chests in it and the ice melts fairly quickly. Another note, definitely don't travel with your wines in there, they are nice and toasty when you arrive at your event.

trip report: the chocolate is fine coz it travelled on the passenger seat thanks to the input of this board, but I got rear-ended by a girl who has her license for 3 months...
