Like a plastic spoons/forks situation? And what about safety ? Are the techs taking their BBQ plates out into the service bay where BBQ can be accidentally dropped into the flat six engines?

And those techs can be messy, I don't think I have to remind you. Those guys/gals don't often wash their hands. They could be getting their BBQ diabetic paws all over the Exclusive Manufaktur interiors you guys have in your Tourings. And if they get that BBQ on your Race-tex / Alcantara, I can tell you WHO ISN'T gonna be a happy camper. (Especially if you paid some hysterical ADM)
No, I don't cater BBQ for the entire dealership just the main folks that have made it happen for them...SA, SM, and GM. I go to one of two BBQ spots and pick up a few pounds of BBQ along with sides plus paper plates and utensils (beverages provided by the dealer). So no risk of techs taking the food back into the service bays and dripping sauce onto the cars.

You should go check out the Hermes message boards sometime. If you think there's dick wagging with GT cars, you ain't seen nothing yet until you start throwing around Birkin invites.
We should do what they did in Mad Max...

I have a different theory for you …. You want to make sure they see you for a reason (note; I’ve seen you in person, as I also track with Speeddistrict).

some people turn disadvantages in life into advantages in other things …

You can have all the theories you want, I see them because I'm a people person and want to thank them for the GT allocations (the Texas BBQ is just the whipped cream on top of the sundae for me).

And no, it's not because I had near catastrophic ankle injury playing high school football where I almost lost my foot.

Speaking of ADMs, anybody on here picking up 1 of the 600 (2500 Global) likely US Dakars?

Great meeting up with some good friends at Luft 9 on Mare Island this weekend!
An incredible venue.

I know nothing about Hermes and Birkin. Not part of my world. Do Porsche people and Hermes/Birkin people generally run in the same circles?

There's probably a message board for donut connoisseurs out there somewhere as well

The Hermes board people are probably asking ... "People talk about cars on message boards?"
