I've added a new "quick poll" feature to Ideola's Garage. These are 1 or 2-question "quick polls" on a variety of transaxle-Porsche related topics. Each poll will be active for four weeks, so within a month, there will be up to four polls active at any given time. I've already got 52 weeks worth of polls lined up, so I'll post here each Monday with a link to the new poll.

For each poll, you can vote once, after which you will be able to view the results. There's no registration required, and it's completely anonymous (hopefully, this won't be abused!). These are strictly for fun, I'm not collecting any demographics or anything at all like that.

This week's poll:
How many miles per year do you put on your Porsche(s)?

For the geeks among us, I'm using an open source tool called LimeSurvey. It provides a lot of different options for polling, much more robust than the simple poll facility provided here on the forum. Eventually, you'll see different types of voting options, including picklists, multiple questions, matrices, etc.

I hope you'll enjoy participating in these. If you have a poll idea or any suggestions for how to improve this feature, shoot me a PM.

You needed another selection:
Less than 100 miles

And you needed to be more specific so that we could respond per car; e.g.:
The most driven Porsche
The Porsche project car
The donor Porsche car
The wife's/kid's Porsche (yeah right)
The fantasy Porsche - now we're talking high milage

Current results from last week's poll. As a reminder, this poll will still be active for another 3 weeks for anyone that still wants to participate.

Here's this week's quick poll:
How many transaxle Porsches do you currently own?
Trying to have some fun with the answer options...

So which models of Porsches do not have transaxles?

hmm, ive two with transaxles and one that used to have a transaxle, it also used to have tires and suspension, and.... so is that three or two? i was certain it was 2.5 but now im not sure, since that was not an option... I probably shouldve rounded down instead of up...

This week's poll:
Have you ever owned a non-transaxle Porsche?

For those of you who don't like the definition of "transaxle Porsche", you may substitute the following question:
Have you ever owned a Porsche besides a 924, 931, 924S, 944, 951, 968, or 928?

Uh, I think 911's and 914's and Boxsters are transaxle Porsche's.

One could say front engine, but that doesn't cover it with the Cayenne's.

An alternative could be 'torque tube' but I am not sure if the C4's have a torque tube to transfer power up front.

Maybe 'a Porsche that is, or a derivative of the 924,' but that leaves out a 928.

I guess, 'a front engine, rear drive, watercooled, non-4WD, with a torque tube...' LOL.
