Reason #9 why I love this forum:
Even when my dementia is in full bloom, there'll be threads like this one and the one on "What's missing - tow package" to bring back my memories.

That was a great avatar, LTC. Did you have to change it to something friendlier looking?

Slow Guy

Good God EW, isn't it time to change that avatar yet?

EnigmaWmn

I'm not tired of it yet and it sill makes me laugh every time I look at it. It's got everything: ***** (and a just slightly oversized banana hammock), politics & nostalgia......

Kris Kringle sues PCNA
This just in from the wire services.............

*************************************
Dateline: North Pole.
Headline: Christmas delayed due to Cayenne towing issue, lawsuits filed.

In a stunning disappointment for children (and adults who act like children) around the world, Kris Kringle stated today at a web conference that due to a 'towing incompatiblility issue' between his reindeer sled and his recently purchased Cayenne tow vehicle, Christmas may be delayed.

Details are still coming in at this time, but this is what we know so far.....

The issue began when Mr Kringle (d/b/a Santa Claus) decided to hook up reindeer sleigh up to his newly acquired Porsche Cayenne for this year's toy delivery trip around the world.

Immediately upon attaching the reindeer sleigh to the 7 pin Pollack connector, a "!" Check Trailer Lights warning message was displayed on the dashboard of the Cayenne and Rudolph's red nose went out, along with the headlights on the Cayenne, leaving him in total darkness.

Mr Kringle did due diligence by referring to the owner's manual, while Mrs Kringle administered CPR to Rudolph while the other reindeer watched in horror. Rudolph's condition is not known at this time.

Upon finding NO reference to the "!" Check Trailer Lights message ANYWHERE in the owner's manual, Mr Kringle then called Porsche Roadside Assistance, as time was of the essence to get the Cayenne on the road, now that Rudolph's future was in doubt.

Upon reaching Porsche Roadside assistance, Mr Kringle described the problem in detail and was immediately transferred to PCNA Legal in Atlanta.

PCNA Legal in Atlanta, after conferring with PCNA Front Desk Engineering, told Mr Kringle the following:

1. The Porsche Cayenne was NOT designed to be compatible with red nose reindeer lighting systems.
2. By connecting a reindeer sleigh to the Porsche Cayenne, he had immediately voided his warranty.
3. He was then told, and I quote: "Stuff It Fat Man".

Mr Kringle, left with no other recourse, consulted his "whose been naught and whose been nice" list and contacted Rennlist Cayenne forum member "ltc"; (it is NOT known which list "ltc" was on: naughty or nice.)

"ltc" was unable to provide any assistance regarding the Cayenne but was able to put Mr Kringle in touch with legal counsel to help resolve the issue.
"ltc" also offered the services of his 2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer edition 6.0l PowerStroke diesel to tow the reindeer sleigh, as unlike the Cayenne, this vehicle has no issue with reindeer sleigh lighting attached to its 7 pin Pollack connector.

Mr Kringle then thanked "ltc" and asked one further question:
"Would you happen to know the address of PCNA President Peter Schwarenbauer?" to which "ltc" replied, "as a matter of fact, yes I do"
Mr Kringle, smiling, said: "Are you busy AFTER Christmas Eve? Would you like to take a trip to Atlanta with me and the Elves known as Vito, Vinnie and Nunzio?"...to which "ltc" replied...."how did you know what I wanted for Christmas?"

At this time, legal counsel for Mr Kringle are filing class action lawsuits on behalf of:
Rudolph's family
Children (and adults who act like children) from around the world
All Cayenne owners with option 1D6 (factory tow option)

We will post further details as they become available.

Happy Holidays to everyone in the Cayenne forum....in my own 'special' way.

1000th Post and Christmas Tribute to all of you here!
CAYENNE BELLS
By MadFox. Christmas 2006
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Driving through the snow,
In an alpha-beta Cayenne sleigh,
Over the TSBs we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells in the dashboard ring,
Making spirits and !!!!(s) bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A Cayenne song tonight.

Oh, Cayenne bells, Cayenne bells,
Cayenne all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In an alpha-beta Cayenne sleigh.

A year or three ago,
I thought I'd take a test ride,
And soon Mr. Peter and Larry
Were seated by my side;
The horsepower was quick and strong;
But misfortune seemed my lot;
So I got into the “villa” crowd,
And we drank “purple stuff” a lot.

Oh, Cayenne bells, Cayenne bells,
Cayenne all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In an alpha-beta Cayenne sleigh.

A year or so ago,
The story I must tel(t)
I went back and forth to the Porsche lot
And “bent over” often I felt;
A German gent was riding by
In a Porsche CAYMAN sleigh,
He laughed and said I cannot tell a lie,
“Vee learned from zee Cayenne-zers howz to build it RIGHT”.

Oh, Cayenne bells, Cayenne bells,
Cayenne all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In an alpha-beta Cayenne sleigh.

Now the ground will soon be white
So get one while you're young,
Go for an ’05 or later girl tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a cute Tit.S or a CPO bay
Three-forty HP or more is not a "Pig"
Hitch her to an Open LED or under 16 light Uhaul trailer (!!!!!)
And you'll take to the "Parade" in this PAG SUV "rig"!

Oh, Cayenne bells, Cayenne bells,
Cayenne all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In an alpha-beta Cayenne sleigh. *

* With apologies to James Pierpont (American songwriter and composer of Jingle Bells) and thanks to all of you who helped me get through Beta ownership and then contribute to my decision to buy a follow-up in the form of a 2006 Cayenne Tit. S. Plus, I actually enjoy it to the point that I made a 1000th Post on a Forum (this is my only forum that I truly "play in". Thanks.).
