Excited, sure la. It's not everyday you see someone seriously consider using their carrera as a daily drive family car Ma.

And the sign is important, since I have a 3.5 years old boy and a new baby girl coming this Nov.

I think the sign is required when going autocross with them

Lovely blue!! And I like that baby in car sign. The yellow has a nice contract with the blue.
^_^
btw I don't see any problem to drive around kids in Porsche if the baby/child car seat can be properly installed in it.
Do you have Recaro car seat? ^_^

作者: sheep 時間: 2010-11-1 08:55

The most important is the meaning of the sign.
It remind other road users to be cautious
But I see many cars with this sign were driving recklessly
changing lane without signaling.

There are so many cars that NEVER use their signal when they change lane and even turn.
If I become a mad man/woman, I will record all these car plates and break all their sign lights!!! why have them if you don't use/need them!!!
anyway, I was speechless once I found out that a close friend of mine never signal...
I felt so shameful.

作者: fibbi 時間: 2010-11-1 09:31

Nice car!!!

The baby sign is a big contrast to the car....but it makes it stands out more..

Fast car is only meant to drive fast on autocross or the track. I don't understand why people would think driving sport car as family car (to drive slow) is to show off? Everyone is not supposed to drive fast on the road anyway, no matter what kind of car.

I love the blue, and the contrast with the yellow baby-on-board sign.  My coworker's Miata permanently has a car site on the passenger side since his 3yr old love to ride with his Dad.  I hope your boy love that too.

Porsche can't mount a baby site, I highly don't think so.  Maybe Mr DavidCopperField could come out again to teach us a bit more about Porsche.  LOL.

Oh, of course +5 hp with that baby sign la.  Hahaha...

作者: cremedelacreme 時間: 2010-11-1 10:26

Yeah, agree with bear, I don't see any problem to drive around kids in Porsche if the baby/child car seat can be properly installed in it. My brother has 2 kids, one is 3, and one is 5. And he has 2 Porsche as well, 911 turbo and a Cayenne. And he still drives his kids around in his cars, with car seats. And also, driving a Porsche doesn't mean the driver has to drive fast during regular times. My bro will go to race tracks on weekends to race his car, and during weekday, he just drives his car within speed limit.

But B2L2, I'm pretty sure the baby sign saps hp instead of adding them la~ hahahahaha

I don't care about what sign people put on their cars. It's their cars and their choices. However, what's the purpose of that Baby Onboard sign? Think about it, how many people on the road will actually drive more cautiously because they see that you have a sign? I don't think many.

It's true that my Porsche is not a family car, my previously owned Subaru STi is better.  However, when needing the extra room, I use my wife RDX anyway.

Obviously, I have my reason for the baby signs, and why 911.

my commute to work is actually quite fun and good with very little traffic, so I would like to enjoy my daily drive.  I was originally planning to get a boxster or cayman when my son get old enough to ride safely at the front.  That's when my wife decided to have another kid, so no more cayman or boxster unless I want it as weekend car only.

Well, the leave me little choice but a 911.  Believe it or not, Porsche has been making their own carseats for their 911 for many years.  There are 3 sizes going up from infant seat to booster.

As for the baby signs, it probably looks cool to some husband out there with kids who wish they are on a sport car instead of a corolla, but for those who are single and with no kids, it probably  harder to understand.

Here in Seattle, I can still drive relative fast daily.  U know people go at least 70mph on the hwy.  For me, my comes from the twisty roads and the ramps.  Back to the signs.  It is there to avoid stupid tailgaters and road racing teenagers.  It's my responsibility as a parent to have the baby sign on my car while continue to enjoy my driving.

Driving fast may be fun, I enjoy the handling of a car much more driving within or slightly over the speed limit in the corner or on twisty a lot more.  I know I will be doing some DE and will enjoy the high speed ther, and AutoX will be fun as well.  I will see if I can get some video footage.. Again hope everyone enjoy the pictures here.

FiChai 發表於 2010-11-1 17:33

Honestly. People who buy a Porsche doesn't enjoy it's speed on public roads per-say. Let's put it that way, I definately get passed by more Civics than Porsches. Porsche on the public road = a mean of transportation, just like any other car. Things to transport aside from full grown adults might include carrying a B, a set of ski's, IKEA book shelves, etc. The same Porsche can be taken to your closest beloved AutoX event, road race track or drag race track, to maximize your lap time/corner exit speed/quarter-mile as desired.

I don't see how it's so hard to imagine. You want 2 cars at home, 1 SUV, 1 Sporty car. You want both to be ready to carry a B whenever necassary. Not that tough to get over?

Now plz get back to the car and the photos. I still haven't found out what license plate mount Chobit used on his 911, and whether he got his ass frozen yet by trying to open the top in these weathers

samsung 發表於 2010-11-1 15:30

"Slow" does not equal to "bad." I think it's totally reasonable for parents to drive slower with kids in the car. If I see a such sign on a car, I think it's telling me, "There's an infant on board. Please be careful and I will do the same."

Notice how most child on board signs are triangular/diamond shaped and in bright yellow color? They are meant to be visible to other drivers. They are eyecatchy for tailgaters and other drivers, especially in the rain. Everyone has a natural instinct to keep children safe. It's more of a self-check/reminder for the driver with the baby him/herself as well as the cars around them to watch their speed and driving style.

And with a convertible, you do want your neighbour drivers to know that there's a baby in car. A 10-second, elongated honk from an angry neighbour driver = EXTRA loud for a convertible driver/passengers (imagine the baby's reaction to the noise). And if the car beside you turned on its windsheid wipers to clean its dirty windows... then the baby in the convertible will probably get splashed.

The plate bracket I have is called "Show n Go"  I have the manual operated version, since it's lighter, and easier to install.

http://www.altecproducts.com/

As for the top, I try to have it open 90% of the time if it's not raining + 9C or above.  I think it's not that bad, since it has heated seat and the heater is very strong.  I just bought some driving gloves today, so that I can drive it at cooler temperture.  Compares this to my previously own 99 Miata, my 997 actually performs very well in high speed + Open top.

I actually drove around all day with the top down on my wife's B-Day (It was like 12-14C), and it was very good even at Hwy speed (We could talk and still listened to music..  at speed over at 70mph at time)  The trick was to put on the windscreen with all windows up.

I used to think the same until I attended a Culture Compentency event provided by my work place. One of my co-worker actually shared with us how she go discriminated using handicap space when she was young. In her case, she was born in-mature with 70% of her hearing lost in her whole life. Othewise, she looks as normal as any of us. But then if she would to cross the parking lot with her limited hearing.. she could have been killed very easily..!
I then went online and found that there are many types of disabilities that we were not aware.

eg.
Types of conditions that qualify
You may receive disabled parking privileges if you have a disability that limits or impairs your ability to walk and you meet at least one of the following criteria:

You cannot walk 200 feet without stopping to rest.
Your ability to walk is severely limited due to an arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition.
You are so severely disabled that you cannot walk without the use of or assistance from a brace, cane, another person, prosthetic device, wheelchair, or other assistive device.
You use portable oxygen.
You are restricted by lung disease to such an extent that forced expiratory respiratory volume when measured by spirometry is less than 1 liter/second or the arterial oxygen tension is less than 60 mm/hg on room air at rest.
You are impaired by cardiovascular disease or cardiac condition to the extent that your functional limitations are classified as Class III or IV under standards accepted by the American Heart Association.
You have a disability resulting from an acute sensitivity to automobile emissions which limits or impairs your ability to walk. Your physician, physician assistant, or advanced registered nurse practitioner must document that the disability is comparable in severity to the others listed above.
You are legally blind and have limited mobility.
You have acute sensitivity to light associated with a form of porphyria that would significantly benefit from a decrease in exposure to light. Porphyria refers to a group of inheritable metabolic disorders in which exposure to light can result in burning, blistering, swelling, and scarring of the skin.

i assume that the driver is mentally handicap.

作者: chobit 時間: 2010-11-2 10:06

hehe.. Trust me.. I know all about it.. I read at least 80% english base car seat info for 911..!

As far as I know it's made by Britax, but it's not a direct rebadge, since they have made it fits better behind a 911.

I am currently using a few combination of car seats setup in the back.

The main car seat that fits very well in the back is Britax Roundabout 55 (Just came out this summer). It fit in the back perfect.

However, for short trip, I am using a booster seat w/o the back, then added a thing call Safe rider travel vest which is a very interesting product.. http://www.safetrafficsystem.com/
