Porsche Welcome Kit
Got my Welcome Kit today and besides few brochures and booklets it also included a 911 pen. Did others received similar items? I've seen posts where people got paper weights but not pens.

At Rennsport IV I was in the Porsche lounge area where they were selling Certificates of Authority. My 10 year-old daughter wanted to write something down but I had no pen. There was a huge container of "Porsche" pens nearby (easily 100+) so I asked if I could borrow one. The woman said, "No" and relented when I pointed to my daughter and said that she wanted to write something. Reluctantly, she relented. Really? A two cent pen, and you've got hundreds, and you won't part with one? She got busy selling the C's of A and when we left, just out of principal (after just purchasing a 997.2 GTS the month before), I grabbed a handful and gave them out to people in at the show.
I don't know whether that is hilarious or pathetic (not me taking the pens but the woman not giving them away)!

She probably just didn't want to have to take the time to explain the proper Porsche pen 2,000 word break-in requirement. Now all those pens are gonna sieze up, tear paper, leak, all because you gave them away without explaining the need to carefully bed in the bearing.

Ya' think that's hilarious? I've recounted this before but it seems appropriate to do it again.
