If I take my car for service at an official dealer; How can I prevent the mechanic or staff from taking my car for a joyride. I have a 911 Turbo Carrera S that requires a couple of days of work. I bought it for around $140,000.The staff knows the car is special. If I leave it at the official Porsche dealer; will they try to race it and go joyriding with it? How can I prevent this?

I doubt if they will, they have too much work to do. But I would record the mileage of the car before I take it in and compare it to the mileage when I get it back. If there are too many miles difference, then complain to the management.
Give them the exact mileage when you are making up the work order. Tell them you do not want the car taken off their lot. and you will be checking when you pick it up. Depending on the work being done there are times when it is a must to road test. In these cases have them call you. Go to the dealership and accompany the tec. May put you out a bit but better than tires smoking in some remote spot.
A Porsche dealer service center sees cars like yours all the tim. Frankly, its really just another chunk of metal to them. Believe me, 5 years in the automotive service industry have sapped me of any desire I had to go joy riding.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
