Default 'generous' offer from your Porsche dealer

Did anybody get an email from your Porsche dealer offering to adjust your clock for daylight savings time for free?

Really? Are Porsche owners really that inept?

I guess it's for the people that need drive-off assistant, stability control, traction control and all the other nannies that have been added.
It's hard to believe that they don't know their clientele... I wonder if it's one dealer, or regional?

Not here.

Of course, Arizona doesn't participate in Ben Franklin's quaint little experiment.

YES........I just saw some stupid beyotch driving a Panamera C4s ( really) doing 45 in a 55 where everyone does 70.

The funny thing was the soccer mom in the minivan who wanted to run her off the road !!

It would be interesting to know if ineptitude is regional.

Incredible. Maybe they could change my oil at the same time...

I still can't get over this....

Wouldn't people that have an email account know how to change a clock?

Apparently not. How many people on this and other forums ask questions that are answered in the owner's manual?

It seems the dealers know their clientele. And, want to get you in the store to test drive the new 991 and place an order. Getting the clock reset for 'free' could end up costing a bunch!!

Default HA!

Undoubtably, the dealer is hoping for some paid work, "while you're here."
