Here's my update:
I called Jim Ellis Porsche, where the car was originally purchased, and asked them about the Porsche warranty effective date [12/31] vs. the drive out date [04/07 the following year]. They threw out the idea to me that the car was a demo, which Hennessy Porsche had also said. I asked them if they had a record of how much mileage was on the car 04/07 and they showed 124 - and thought that was very low for a demo. They did some research in the Sales database and Wayne Stone called me back saying the car was still on the boat 12/31. They said bring the car in and 'we'll see what we can do'. What they did is give me a loaner, fixed the top and the key, cleaned the wheels and vacuumed the interior [drought restrictions prevent washing] - zero cost under warranty.

I hope I don't have any more issues. This is the fifth or sixth warranty work I have had. Makes me nervous.... My Honda has a far better record, but of course it is not nearly as fun.
