@BobZ Boy are you no fun. Can a moderator really just delete a photo of a blue trash can that looks like shark blue just because they own a shark blue spyder? Really? Did I trigger you!?

IT WAS A JOKE! A FUNNY FUNNY PHOTO OF A BLUE RECYCLE TRASH BIN THAT JUST HAPPENS TO LOOK LIKE SHARK BLUE! DOES NOONE HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR ANY MORE????

We do not want the thread to be a debate about colors.

Quick, someone post more great Shark Blue pics. I'd do it but mine is about 20 days away from the paint booth.

My car exited the paint booth about 4 weeks ago, but they only finally updated "My Porsche" with my first photo a couple of days ago. Even in the factory it looks good!

That's so cool. I really hope I get that pic. What day do they post it and where exactly are you clicking within the tracker to find it? Which step?

It’s only a joke if somebody laughs. Yes, I have a sense of humor, but please try to understand that finding pleasure in trolling is not the same as making others laugh. Essentially, you are equating a thread dedicated to owners who enjoy their choices to trash. Can you process that?

Honestly, it's pretty much a crap shoot as far as I can tell. Track Your Dream doesn't give you this photo, it only comes from your "My Porsche" account, accessed either through the Porsche website or the "MyPorscheExperience" app on your smartphone. For me, I had to call PCNA to get the invite for TYD, but my GT4 didn't show up in "My Porsche" for another couple of weeks, only my existing Cayman was there. The GT4 finally showed up in My Porsche, but it wasn't until after my car actually completed production. But even then, it showed up as "Production Scheduled" even though it was already complete and sitting in Emden. About the same time the car was actually loaded on the ship, suddenly My Porsche showed "Production Completed", at which point you can get the photo of it on the production floor. Once My Porsche shows production complete, to see the photo in the App you just click on the "On it's way" section. Alternatively, on the website your ordered car will show up in the "Overview" section and you click on the "Discover Current Phase" button and voila, your car photo appears and you can download a high-resolution photo. I had given up all hope of the production floor photo, so it was quite a pleasant surprise (that's a huge understatement) to see the photo!

I'm with flynlo, that's a great pic. I'm so excited to see my interior because of your video. At the eleventh hour I added Speed Blue stitching and the extended leather package. After seeing your video I knew I had made the right choice. Love the wheels too.
