    New Boxster Mailer

    Did anyone get this in the mail, I got one yesterday.

    The new Boxster breaks with convention without breaking from its heritage.

    OK, I know it's OT and I'm being pedantic, but why does "The new Boxster break with with convention", but "without breaking from its heritage"?

    It's "marketing speak" for, "We didn't want to spend the money to develop a new car".
    But I admit, I like the 987.....

    What were the full contents? Mine came ripped

    seems the right edge was missing the perforated tab. someone or something ripped it off. all that was in the envelope was the pull out picture.

    nice pic.

    Mine was the same way one end seemed ripped. Nothing in it except the little card.
    I think they forgot to stuff the envolopes before mailing them out .
