Default Got this badge thing in the mail?

I'm not sure what it is other than it's heavy and has my name on it. Looks just like the badge on the front of the car - and mine is numbered 8649. It's in a nice black box.

It's a Paperweight!

I got the book, DVD, and the paper weight. They must want me to buy a turbo.

The badge looks neat.

I did buy my 07 997S new from the dealer, and I haven't received anything in my mailbox yet... Do I have to do anything (like register my car in the Porsche website) to receive it?

(My salesperson did call my office today, asked me to test drive the 997.2 -- they have two in stock -- though...)

With best regards,

Is this the book that everyone is talking about?

I'm amazed - just checked Ebay and didn't find any for sale (yet).

They are personalized with your name, that could explain why they are not on EBay

I got mine today and I love it! The personalization is a nice touch. My wife was actually impressed.

Nice paperweight.

Is this for recent purchase (07 08 09) of a 997? And what's with the number reference?

Love to know what this is all about!
