This is one of the reason I love Porsche despite some of crap they do like VIP. Got this in the mail. Despite it all they are a real enthusiast company and inderstamd their GT base customers.

The factory team is really doing great this year. Great finishes at Long Beach on 4/13 too

My dream car. Did you notice the package has a unique smell? Marketing ?

No, didn’t bother smelling it. Will give it a whiff tomorrow. Don’t put anything past PAG as far as marketing. If there going to use smell I would suggest chocolate. I like chocolate. Makes me happy. 😁

Nice pamphlet, but what's the story with that wreck of a table it is sitting on?

You didn’t simply buy a Porsche...you joined the team....yuck!

My wife gets all excited about this crap..She became a lifelong Porsche devotee just because they sent her a carbon fiber pen. Personally, I find the whole lifestyle branding, Christophorus magazine and the junk mail I get from Porsche...literally...every other week to be just that...junk mail. Think I finally shook the magazines. Porsche was sending both my wife and I separate copies every month.( I guess they wanted to make sure we still both got it in case we got divorced). Filling up my recycle bin single handedly.

Don’t miss that the schedule is a refrigerator magnet.

**** no!! Don't tell her about it, she might make me buy another car.

(Actually, taking tire pressure is something she outsources but I guess we weren't really part of the "team" after all....LOL)

Would like my wife to meet yours!. Maybe yours will change mine to see the “light” so she can start making me buy other cars instead of me begging and conniving to buy cars

Got mine too.

You didn’t just buy a Porsche. You paid for all this fancy marketing and record profits!

Send the wives to me. I specialize in conversions!

Ah, but maybe that was strategic. Second at Daytona, First at Sebring and Long Beach.

Winning breeds excitement and enthusiasm.

I don't notice any smell in the package... On the other hand I am glad Porsche hasn't forgot there racing history or is just riding on there past racing achievements. I'm a Porsche fan mostly because of there racing. I do enjoy the cars and truly feel they are designed and built better than most others.

I am surprised Porsche sends my wife and I stuff since this GT3 was bought used w/ CPO. 1st GT car too. My wife is a Porsche fan as well so I have it made!!!! LOL ;-)

Whoa Semitone!!!! Ya gotta learn to dump that negativity, slow down and smell the roses and BE HAPPY lest you eventually become a Grumpy Old Man.
I love getting stuff from Porsche - Can't wait to open it up - OK, most of it IS pretty useless, but at least SOMEONE cares about me enough to write -
which is more than my kids and Grandkids do. IMHO, NO ONE does a better job than Porsche in making me addicted to their cars and eagerly await their next new model.
Gives me something to look forward to - and isn't that what Life is all about? The next new adventure and the next new Car or new Airplane.
That makes me happy. Try It - You'll like it!!!!
