He had to order thread and I'll have his first set ever with Carmine thread. So, I was speculating based on my experience with Ed. If you want it to be really funny - my wife suggested that Ed bought the last Carmine thread from the thread vendor and Porsche can't finish my car because Ed is making my bolsters! ;-)
I thought LWBS could not be ordered with deviated stitching in the GTS (except the standard chalk or red with the GTS package). Was this a CXX (a.k.a. $$$) option? Boxster or Cayman?

Just heard from my SA the boxster/cayman s/t moved up from a 12/31 on sale date to 11/13 today. Hopefully that means good things for the GT4/GTS and Spyder.

Cayman GTS 4.0 with Leather/RaceTex Black/Carmine interior, GTS interior, and LWBS - I even did the dash and steering column in leather and I believe they are deviated with the red (carmine red) stitching to go with the GTS package. It is a bit overkill but I've waited a long time to build this car. Code: PMF513X3. The best way to see all the details is to use the augmented reality ap.

I am looking at a December delivery in Ottawa and the biggest issue is whether i will have to get my winter wheel set to the dealer to get it home. Then instead of staring at it for months I am going to drive the hell out of it. Its a car, not a sculpture.
Hehe, I'll drive it in the rain and temps down to about 3-4 degrees or so. The stock summer tires are bricks in cold weather and I have a DD I use for that time of year. I'll definitely drive it but wont be pushing it till it warms up some. Just gotta wait to see what the West Coast Weather Gods provide ;-)

Great build and a stunning combo. Congrats!

Cayman GTS 4.0 arrived in Davisville R.I. on the Siem Confucius last Thursday. I received this from my SA yesterday.

"So the car arrived at the port on Thursday from what my system is telling me and is on administrative hold for EPA and CARB certification. My rep was here today and from what we are being told it is supposed to be approved by both on 12/4. If its approved on 12/4 its usually 3-5 days to be released and start arriving at dealerships."

Gentian Blue, platinum satin wheels, chalk/black 2 tone interior, 6MT, my first MT after 3 PDKs ! I take delivery in Edison, NJ and live down in Ocean City, NJ

This is interesting news. Like the previous post my Boxster GTS 4.0 has also arrived at Davisville as told to me when I telephoned the Porsche Customer Care number. If things could be moved up from the 12/4 date that would be great.

not counting the 3+ months of inventory that is sitting in the port already ...

This is the biggest issue IMO.

Meh, this won't be too much of an issue. Looks like the 2021 992s and 718 base/s/t will clear before 2021 4.0s get certified. There is already region route dedicated specific carrier -- I'm on the San Antonio-Austin-Houston.

Seems like they drop about 200 Porsche vehicles at Houston couple of times a month and it's working fine -- will just be few extra 4.0s. Minor problems for sure...

I just checked in with my SA and the car is already on the ship arriving next week. Very excited!

Really hope the certifications can be done before December so we can pick up our cars without having to wait a month and a half for no reason.

My 2021 GT4 PDK was unloaded from the Bosporous Highway at the Jacksonville port on October 6th. There it sits waiting for EPA to adjust the Dec 4 "on sale" date. It's killing me!

^^^ That sucks! I'm sorry to hear. I just sold my 997.2 GT3 so it'd be great if we can take delivery earlier!
