Yeah, I dunno what happened...I worked for quite some time to start the thread, But it took forever to come up, and it came up blank...so I give up.
Mr. moderator, please delete both threads I posted with this heading. I may be having ISP problems or something. I may try later...or not.

Okay...here's the story. Fedex dropped a package. It contained a tin replica (80% size) of the street sign at the Porsche factory. Also an invitation to please come test drive the new Cayenne S...with it's shiny 20" "Dubs", and all the bells and whistles. I thought...WTF??? I must not be off Porsche Cars North America's mailing list yet...

No thanks, not interested. Come to think of it, that would be my response to the test drive invitation, if I'd bothered to respond.

It's the original street sign from in front of the factory. "Porschastraub" (sp)
Friend of mine just got one. It's a keeper in my book! -W

If anyone doesn't want their Porschastraub(sp) street sign, I'm sure I could find a wall to hang it on.

Ahhh GEEZE! Wish they'd leave me alone already. Nothing made by Porsche today interests me...regardless of my ability to buy same. A tin sign delivered by fedex is supposed to turn me on? It's already in the local landfill...or maybe not. It's probably sitting in a trash can, awaiting my next trip to the local "transfer station". These days, I'd prefer seeing pool balls spread out over the table, after my break...the balls spread out like a $3 whore on Friday night....I'd never want to be seen driving a Cayenne! Or a Cayman, or a Boxter, and the list goes on..

Back in '88 or '89 when I was in college, I got a slip saying that I had a package. I picked up the package and it was a poster tube from Porsche NA. I didn't have a license at that point and road a bike. It was a poster and an invitation to schedule an appointment for a test drive. The only thing that I can think was that they got my name from Road and Track because I had a subscription at the time.

You asked first. Retrieved from the trash. Soon as you PM your snail mail address, I'll ship it off the next time I go by the local post office...I sure don't want it.
