do you know WHY Porsche agreed to foot half the bill?

you were well out of warranty... is this just something you think you were able to obtain because:

a) you knew someone
b) you threatened them with something
c) you were just so nice they felt sorry for you / sob story letter / phone call

OR

are they starting to treat these types of failures differently? your car was "newer" than many of the older 986 here...not sure they would do the same for a 2000... ??

I'm curious..if you know..what it was about your situation that got them to help out financially with it?

glad to hear you have the car back on the road!
