That is good news. I wondered how cars would be protected in storms. I looked at the Zunsports. Why would you choose them again?

Just received notification that I reached my Freeze Point. Scheduled for production Oct. 9, 2021. Cool stuff to see/hear the process of your Porsche going through the whole process.

I’m at port so I guess I am at day -7 or less for my Zunsport grilles. For the 718 BGTS and the CGTS, I liked the way the Zunsports looked and fit so that is why I chose them.

Sometimes they go on sale with a discount code you just have to watch and wait.

Whenever I hear my car is at the dealer I will schedule a trip to go get it and probably install the grilles sitting on the ground of a parking lot before I drive the 4 hour trip home. So hopefully the Zunsports are easy to snap in with just blue painters tape protecting.

I just got the side grills. You only need a center grill on a GTS, with an additional center radiator. But yes, if you get the Zunsports, they look weird (as in worse) without the center one. And 3 times as much? No way I'd pay that; I thought they were double. The RGSs look better (basically OEM looking, vs tacked on), protect the same, and are equal or actually simpler to install, so I don't see any reason to get the others anymore. I did because they were the only ones available back then (and I had a GTS, with all 3 grilles), and guess folks think they're the best (good for them), but that's not the case anymore. But just get one or the other. Ha ha.

I do not mean to be selfish but I hope the storm does not hurt any of our cars.

haha... or the boat sinks.

My 911 came over on the Felicity Ace... on its next trip across the Atlantic it sank.

Man, that'd SUCK big time. Ha ha. But it happened a few years ago, and with a lot of exotics inside (several Porsche GT cars too). Hey, I have a related question, out of curiosity: Are cars on ships even secured with straps or something? Or just parked? I assume ships have rails, or at least something to prevent them from going sideways, no? It'd take forever to individually secure/unsecure each car, so curious how it's done. Thanks.

The Ro-Ro ships have holes on the deck and the lashing crew uses tie downs usually to either the wheels or other points and the inspection crew follows, checks tie downs and for fluid leaks and such.

My boat has been anchored just outside of rhode island for two days now. Not sure what they’re waiting for.

I have a feeling some cargo ships are offloading more in anticipation for the strike.

ppeterso2

I too am wondering the same thing about anticipation of the strike. My ship offloaded at Sparrows Point Sunday(near Baltimore) and the TYD says it is at the Port. I have no idea when it will go to dealer. I sure hope it doesn’t drag into next week…uggh

I would think they would streamline this some how by offloading simple items like cars where they can dock and any non-union personnel can just drive them off. Just hope they don't screw up my transmission (manual)!

ppeterso2

I agree with you on streamlining—seems a mess! As for damage to transmission or whatever, my understanding that those drivers on ship and port are experts who unload the Ro-Ro ships as they unload cars, tractor trailer cabs, heavy machinery (like farm equipment, construction equipment), and sometimes train cars and whatnot so they are pretty good. That Ship can have some of anything on it

Build just completed!

I think my boat was in port for 1-2 days. Probably unloading 1000's of cars.
