You guys are right. I got 2 letters. I thought they were related but the are not.

One letter is some sort of tax bill? What is that about?

The other is definitely for me speeding. It's a document that has a picture of me driving in the RS. Lol!

Haha - makes for a good profile pic :-). 38 euro is so little compared to California speeding tickets.

Last year I clearly saw a camera flash at me when I was doing 30kmph over in France, but still no ticket. Maybe French justice works slowly or in less direct ways

So the 38 euro turns out to be a tax bill. I received 2 letters and assumed they were related but they are not.

The other letter is a speeding ticket but no fine yet. Another letter is forthcoming for that.

Lol! I think the tax bill is legit but I've sent a copy to Porsche to confirm and find out why they didn't pay it.

The speeding ticket has a not so flattering pic of me driving my RS in a location I was most definitely driving on

I would not fail to pay that ticket if you ever plan to return to Germany - it will be flagged in their systems and would appear to the Politzei checking your passport at the border its niot worth the hassle of dealing
with that after rolling off an international flght!
