Does the map really move before the next step? My first month wait went easy but now I'm really looking forward to its delivery.

I think I may do the PPF on the front so that could take a day or two as well.

Are you guys paying for the wheel insurance?

It does. But the TYD ship location is not accurate. especially for me as it shows the ship 100 miles away from Benicia Port when in reality the ship is off the coast of Mexico. I feel like as the car gets closer, i start checking more often.

I personally will go with the wheel and tire coverage. I had it on my GT4 and within 5 months had a nail stuck in the tire. I paid 50$ and they replace the tire with a brand new one. Totally worth it imo.

Something similar happened to my moms new Mercedes after 1-2 months. The hole in the tire was so tiny they had trouble finding it. No insurance so it cost around $400 for a new tire at Mercedes.

I have not had tire insurance on my 2 BMW's but I have had good luck with them for 6-11 years. I did just have a tire go bad last week but that is on a car I have had for 6 years and the new Michelin tire at Costco only cost me $213 installed.

Congrats! One step closer to the final delivery.

My CGTS was on the SIEM Aristotle and came into the Freeport port just outside of Houston.
I got the notice that it left the port this afternoon, so I'm assuming it should hit the dealer in Dallas tomorrow, as Houston is only a ~5 hour drive.

..... getting close now!

Congrats on the GTS, mine is going to be the same color combo. It is supposed to be here mid October. And, you have great taste in sport bikes BTW. Nice!
