But ok watching again your face on the last post, I'm sure your happy, and that's the most important.
Take care Skip, and thanks for sharing your experience.

BTW, is the Crest on his lips meaning that Porsche paid him to keep quiet as part of their agreement, or does it say "read my lips" as in a new Porsche in the near future?
Iquiring minds wanna know? (or in my case slow ones)

Berny,
Afraid that's a bit of Porsche "over advertising" their development.
From you pictures, it is exactly a new aluminum frame US Club Car Precedent model with minor "cosmetic" modifications, right down to the body, top, side mouldings, dash, seats, rear end including lights, and even the suspension. They have just "modified" the front cowl which is a common "custom feature" in Golf Cars. If you like, you can get various front ends including Hummer, 57 Chevy, 32 Ford, VW Beetle, etc.
I know for sure...we bought one last summer (strictly "stock", not a golfer, just for our older Golden Retriever to get around and enjoy!)

Salazar,
I still have three Porsches, which are listed in my signature. I'm getting ready to drive one of them later this week at the TWS club race, which is shown here proudly displaying the new nose:
I've sworn off of new Porsches, and street Porsches just don't have much appeal. My Subaru is a better daily driver as it's reliable, can haul folks and things, and is nearly invisible to cops, thieves, vandals, and other baddies.

So, it looks like you were/are a pritty good client for them with all those tools and they made such a big deal out of such a small issue and let you suffer.
I would like to see anybody from Porsche give a reaction on this board and tell us why they did the things they did.

No warranty....they made an oversight and the factory is not recognizing your car. I won't bore you with the details of the resolution but I doubt a transitional situation had anything to do with it IMO. Its called incompetence and thats being kind.........
