Well, something weird is going on. My car, as well as a local one, locked on exactly the same day: 6/17. And both were August allocations. So apparently Porsche shouldn't close the entire month, but don't know how that works. Anyway, his PDK car is scheduled to get produced in SEPTEMBER (he just sent me the order page), with ETA of Oct 11. My 6MT started production JULY 01. Salesman is out for the 4th, so will get an ETA next week, but it should be way sooner than my buddy's car, me thinks. Something weird is going on, but I'm not complaining. Ha ha. Will keep you posted.

Well, that's the thing. I have no way to confirm that. My friend the local GM cannot see my car, because it's sold. And I have no reference number of any kind. Seems weird it's getting produced now, when it's an August allocation. Maybe it has something to do with a Porsche memo dealers got encouraging them to sell more 6MT Caymans. Mine is 6MT. My friend thinks that might have something to do with that. Anyway, what ETA are you getting? Hopefully we'll get them early Sep.

Oh man, Sep to Dec is a brutal window. Ha ha. I told my friend if his is produced in Sep, there's no freaking way it'd get here Oct 11. Only if it was European delivery. A car has been waiting to get shipped for a month, so I'm not optimistic of an early delivery, to be honest. Just would like more or less when it'd arrive, since we're planning a family trip. But the good news is Austin has an enclosed indoor parking structure (above their showroom), so my car would be safe for a week or two, if needed.

NOTHING. No email, no nothing. Maybe the problem is I test-drove the car in Austin, but didn't sign anything there, since my buddy was asking for authorization to sell me his allocation at MSRP, but his bosses said no (later yes, but it was too late). So I called Austin once home, sent my spec/code, they sent me the build, I sent them my DL, and it was locked a week later (6/17). But they haven't even collected the $5K deposit, so don't feel it's a done deal until I get something. Hey, did you get some kind of code or something, to register with Porsche? To ask for it next week. Thanks.
