Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

In 2001, we received a wooden desk plaque (sort of a paperweight) with a Porsche crest and a metal plate with the VIN on it. It's a very nice display item.

Ha! I know there was also an instructional video for the '99 models. Coochas posted it on his website.
The plaque sounds cool to have. Just something I'd like to try and get when purchasing a used vehicle.

A solid aluminum pyramid with the Porsche crest and VIN. One Porsche crest leather key ring. All the promotional posters for the C4S when I allowed them to display the car in the showroom as their "launch car". The salesman also laminated the window sticker for me, and promised me a Porsche indoor car cover. Never got the cover . Didn't stop me from buying the wife's Boxster from them, though. This time just got the leather key ring. I am seriously considering keeping the aluminum pyramid even if I sell the car.

I'll definitely be keeping my paperweight when I finally sell my car way down the road.
