Red face This is strange

I went for my annual emissions on the Cape with my 02 Cab. This proceedure is all computerized in MA. So the guy drives it in the bay, and hooks me up to a computer as he punches my correct VIN.

Well I had no problem passing, but after reading the computer printout I now own a 2002 Gray Boxster 3.2 w a grand total of 1673 miles. Strange 'cause I went in with an 02 C4 AS Cab with 15,600 miles on it.

Someone else is MA is going to get an upgrade from a Boxster to a 996

When my first Z06 got ran over, and I went in to get the new one and sign all the papers, they came and showed me where my VIN came up as a Honda Accord! And this was at the same dealer I bought the car from only six months earlier... On the GM system computer!!

haha, thats nothing, when i was insuring my GT3, they didn't have the car in the system, so we had to manually find it,

after i said 911 carrera GT3, the clerk seemed to have not heard the numbers, and came back with an insane figure, i said, no no, that must be wrong... apparently she was.

Yeah Tom, at my age it's my last Porsche. Already in the will for my Grandson age 8

VIN is correct in the Porsche system.. just not in MA emissions computer.
