...this post left me scratching my head:

Take out a complimentary Porsche for a two-hour drive at these luxury hotels

So the "corvette forum" is taking sponsored ads from other manufacturers these days?

Smart on Porsche's side... Their clientelle is the higher end traveler (business or otherwise). They'll probably get quite a few people who'll fall in love with one (and buy) who would never have otherwise come to a dealership or thought to purchase one.

Grand Del Mar one in SD is $595 a night. I like higher end hotels, but that's a bit much.
