Default GTS is like 9 days out. Cant sleep! Please Help!

I got a call today from my dealer. Three days ago, my GTS got delivered by the ship Michigan Highway to the port of Houston. It will be be trucked my way, to Omaha Ne on Dec 4, if all goes well. They were saying delivery was the 15th of Dec originally. Than that moved up to the 11th and now they told me today maybe a bit sooner.

I go to bed at night and cant sleep. I cant count sheep because I see visions of 911s driving through the sheep pen. Than I almost fall asleep, and I have nightmares of barbed wire scratching my doors. Last night the sheep chewed the front spoiler off and someone stole a center lock wheel.

I know, reverse psychology? I will put out my coin jar to remind me how much money I will owe.

Im in the same boat - no pun intended. My original ETA to port in RI was 12/11, thought I was on the Goodwood which arrives 12/7, but dealer confirmed Im on the Bangkok which arrives today. Goodwood to Bankok, has to be a joke in there.

Im just telling myself it will get held up at port and I wont see it til Christmas like I was originally told (but im moving money now just in case!).

I havent had dreams about it yet, but I do go to sleep thinking about it at night. Hopefully you get it earlier than planned!

Color? Duck or no duck?

Enjoy the pain. The cure is worth the wait? My RS just left the factory yesterday. Don't think I'll see it until after Xmas.��

I thought that originally, but kept telling myself Porsche will want the sale for 2016 calendar year, so far it has worked.

Sorry - no easy answer.

Try researching additional ways to spend money on the car at Suncoast.

If that doesn't help, there's always drugs.

Drugs may be cheaper than adding all that cool stuff from Suncoast... Limit yourself to one view a day.

any Trappist Beer will help. Since you are not driving, you might as well be drinking
