Default Would much rather have my car be ok, but....

I received a "Welcome kit" from Porsche today. It includes literature, a book, a DVD, and a cool pen with "911 GT3" inlaid in silver metal and a barrel that looks to be made out carbon fiber. Very nice, actually. It also includes a platinum ID card with my name, VIN and service contact numbers. Rather ironic under the circumstances....

Any else get this?

Haha - I got mine today, too. I got a package similar with my 991 S Cabriolet but the GT3 pen is a lot nicer than the standard pen that came with the cab. Cool DVD (although not related specifically to the GT3) and nice book. I had the same thought - all very ironic. This stuff gets sent out automatically to new owners, so it was appreciated.

I got an identical package (but BMW literature and branding), including the exact same pen, when I bought my E90M3.

My pen came with side button, which when pressed releases white foamy liquid from fenestrations on side, quickly covering entire pen ... Hmm
