bumper sticker in the Bible belt?

seen on a black Carrera (I think it was a 1989 model ... I think):

Lassen Sie sich vom Auto nicht täuschen, meine Belohnung gibt's in Pfaffenhausen

Whut's it mean?

Online translator came up with this:

Do not deceive yourselves from the car, there is my reward in Pfaffenhausen

Maybe something like "don't be deceived by the car, my real reward lies in heaven" or something like that I'd suspect.

It means "don't allow yourself to be fooled by the car. My real reward is in Pfaffenhausen" (a German town).

Do not allow yourselves to be deluded with the car, My gratification is bestowed in Pfaffenhausen.

Roughly, it means "If you think the car is great, heaven lies in Pfaffenhausen"

That makes more sense - I figured the translator wasn't picking up on "Pfaffenhausen" as a word for "heaven", but you're right - it is the HQ for RUF. Makes more sense. I like it more now, actually.

That's actually really good. ...A bumper sticker deep enough to make Porschephiles stop and scratch their heads ... I'm putting that on my BMW.

Where can I buy that sticker? Didn't see it when I was in Pfaffenhausen.
