7 Solid Gold December 2009 Holiday Gift-Giving Guide by Teresa Suarez, Newsletter Editor, Musik-Stadt PCA It s that time of the year. Gift-giving season. But what do you get a Porsche owner? She or he already has a pretty slammin possesion. What more could they need? Of course it isn t a question of need. Desire and want for sure. But how to satisfy those desires and wants? Here are a couple suggestions! To go along with the Porsche pictures on the computer desktop and screensaver, get your Porschephile a racey mouse. To go along with that new mouse, a USB 4GB Porsche key drive is essential. In the shape of a Porsche key, it easily can fit on your key chain. It plugs and plays with PC s and Mac s. Fold-out stick in the same design as the Porsche sports car vehicle key. Porsche Crest on the front. LED control light on the rear. The plug direction depends on the USB port being used. It can store up to 4 GB of data and is compatible with various operating systems including the Porsche Communication Management system with the individual Universal Audio Interface option. In Black with chrome. Dimensions: 53.5 x 38 x 19.5 mm Motormouse.us.com sells 2.4G wireless mouse in the shape of a familiar sportcar! It is a fully functioning, highly engineered classic sport car design and a wireless digital computer mouse. It includes two buttons, a 12mm spare tire scroll wheel, The real tires are chrome alloy wheels. There are realistic headlights that blink when you click. The rear lights also lite up as you mouse. The opening trunk stores the batteries and receiver. It comes boxed as a gift box, with a slick m o u s e p a d and soft carry pouch. You can have one in metallic black, silver or red. It is a little too small and ergonomically incorrect for someone who works at a computer all day. But for home use, it is a fun addition to any desktop. cost: $44.95 plus shipping sales@motormouse.us.com phone: Keep your favorite photos and music with you at all times. Hopefully you got your 10% off coupon in the mail or at our last club meeting. You can take either to Porsche of Nashville and receive your Musik-Stadt Club 10% discount on top of the coupon. Put it on your Porsche key chain, and make everyone think about how PHAT you are to have two Porsches! In fact that is another great gift idea. Ok so you have a Porschefile who really won t be satisfied with anything this holiday season, that isn t another Porsche. She or he has a Boxster, 911, Cayenne. The need for another machine is strong. Luckily Porsche has given us two more models to choose from.

8 December 2009 Solid Gold For those who also drive a car pool, the new Porsche Panamera is for you. Luxury, Comfort, Accomodations for four and the power of a Porsche, all in one package. It s the Porsche you drive for the rest of the week. Your current Porsche may be your Sunday driver, but once you set yourself in the new Boxster Spyder, you will finally have one for Saturday. The 320 horsepower delivers a ratio of 3.95 kg/hp. It is 80 kg lighter than the Boxster S Roadster, upon which it is based. Twenty-one kg were lost by getting rid of the automatic folding soft-top. Now you have to manually go topless, which is now held in place with clips and snaps. The engine cover and rear luggage compartment lid are replaced by a one-piece aluminum lid with twin convex fairings behind the roll hoops. Other weight saving items: aluminum door skins, no door handles, lighter non-power seats, new alloy wheels, smaller fuel tank and battery and no radio or air conditioning. Yep! No radio or air conditioning. Oh and no cup holders either. This Boxster is for the purist. Driving is all you want to do in this machine. It s all you can do. While some might not like being able to have a soundtrack playing in the background as you put this Porsche to the test, the engine will suffice. It s how the car talks to you. And you want to listen. see Club Name Tags The Musik Stadt Region has made it s first set of name tags earlier this summer. It was a one time offer to club members who would like to have name tags for our events as well as attending other events within the PCA. We have had a number of people who did not get in on the original order but would really like to have a name tag. Therefore, we are going to make one more series of name tags for those members. So if you would like to purchase a club name tag, we have the above style name tag available for $6 per tag. The tag is black in color with the logo and name in white (just the reverse of what is above) If you would like to have one of these great looking name tags, send your name as you would like it on the name tag, specify whether you want the stick pin type or the magnetic type and send $6 per tag to Vic Davis, Club Treasurer, 1524 Crockett Hills Blvd., Brentwood, TN Picture courtesy Porsche North America
