Question Porsche paperweight anyone

Anyone else here get the Porsche crest paperweight in the mail recently (comes in a nice black box, engraved with your name and some meaningless #, a CD, marketing letter, yadayada......

Larry's widow thought it was amusing that I would have gotten one from PCNA, inviting me to test drive the new 911 (which is about as attractive as a dog's butt).

Don't they bother to check ANYTHING down at PCNA?

It has been assigned the job of wheel chock for my son's kart stand.....works remarkably well.

Now, offer me a test drive in a fully blacked out Cayenne Hearse with the rotting corpses of Peter the Great and Dr. W in the back....then we can talk about buying a new Porsche.

At least it has another use, unlike the Porsche Straße sign from last year.

Got mine & I love the looks of the 997.

What a new and unique idea. Something tells me I've seen it before on a previous model, but I just can't put my finger on it.......

I was aware of that actually my choice before buying the TT was a 2002 C4S with similar rear light styling (found also in 993s), still a nice touch, glad it's back

No paperweight for me....

Damn, I never even got the streetsign, and my garage is full of P-cars. Anyone have an extra they would be willing to donate or sell?

Oh, sorry. I meant the streetsign---not the paperweight.

Must be semi random? I got the sign a while ago, but no paperweight.

I got one. Not sure what to do with it, I haven't worked in a decade and don't deal with a lot of paper.

+1 on the Panamera door stop (black box encased phamplet/book)
-1 on the paperweight.. maybe only previous 911 owners?
