Default Porschestrabe

Wow, Porsche is really trying every gimmick to hoist up Cayenne sales. Today, I received a rather large box from PCNA. Inside the box was an 80% scale replica of the original Porschestrabe (Porsche street) sign located outside of the Leipzig factory. Pretty nice little present, actually--I think I'll put it in my garage. Inside was a pamphlet and letter about the Cayenne GTS, with the cute catch-phrase:

Why adopt a highway when you can own the road?
The new Cayenne GTS


They had the marketing department working overtime on this one. Be on the alert for your very own Porschestrabe sign coming in the mail...

Nah, they'll send you one. They figure effective brainwashing has removed any latent memories Larry may have.

my wife is gong to take it up to her office in the engineering school. when the students ask about it, she is going to tell them "the rest of the story".

I know which one I'd REALLY like to see.....

Wow, PCNA has no sense of humor, especially the Legal Department.

Okay.. so I live one state over and just got mine yesterday or today.. we're not sure. Delievered FedEx Ground, wife saw it on the front porch just now.. Ground normally is up to 5 days. It showed shipped on 1/31.

So, now the question still on the table.. Did you get one, Lewis?

Extra Bonus Question -- did you get one, droptop?

We gotta know---------
