Porsche Salesman Trivia Test

JST · 09-13-2012, 01:54 PM

Please take the following test:

1. I know how to drive a manual transmission.

a. Yes.
b. No.

2. I can recognize a car with a manual transmission from a distance of 1 foot, and distinguish it from a car with a direct-shift gearbox.

a. Yes.
b. No.

3. I can tell you what Porsche calls its direct-shift gearbox.

a. Yes, it is "PDK."
b. No, but it might be "sport shifter."

Note--if you answered "a" to any of the above, you are more qualified to sell Porsches than the Porsche salesman I talked to today.

Trying out the 981S. Didn't get much time behind the wheel; I'll post some thoughts later/elsewhere.

I'm guessing it wasn't a stick like it was supposed to be?

No, it was. Which is why I had to drive it off the lot.
