What happened to your daily report today Adam ?

 

The Felicity Ace unloaded Sunday ( my car) and then left. I stopped following it for selfish reasons.

My car is currently awaiting a ride to the dealer. It was not on today's truck(!!!!) but should be on tomorrow's rig for the 3.5 hour ride. I will be at the dealer, camera and balloons in hand to welcome it to NY. Then it's off to PDI, OAP, and then PPF. I'll post pics when it happens for sure!

 

You were right. It did get unloaded at Sparrows Point. Whether that was planned or not is unclear to me though. (But that doesn’t matter.)

 

I agree with your advice. It’s very hard to not get tempted to check on the status of your car constantly via the TYD app, but unfortunately, the status has been wildly inaccurate for me.

The idea of the tracking app is great, however, it is just not there yet. Many times, the app will be stuck at a certain step and then 1 day, it skips a few. It seems that it’s more useful as an afterwards progress tracker like viewing the history rather than live. Hopefully, one day, they’ll be able to provide a more “real-time” status though.

I’ve ordered a couple Jeeps before and they did not provide a way of tracking and the time felt like it passed a lot faster. Maybe it’s just my personality type, but checking daily multiple times just makes time feel so much slower.

So, yea, I think the best thing to do is to not even check the app at all and just forget about it…wait obliviously for that call from your SA and enjoy your life in the meantime!

 

Can you guys clarify something for me: I have the the "My Porsche" app on my iPhone. Within that app is a link that when clicked will launch a browser and take you to the "Track Your Dream" website. But there's not actually a separate "Track Your Dream" APP, right?I searched the Apple store and didn't see anything. Not trying to be pedantic, just want to make sure I'm not missing anything as I obsess over when my car will arrive...

 

That is correct. No actual app.

 

you should also check via a computer. The app will provide 3 photos once built, the computer only 1. But some of the details are easier to see on the computer. (I checked 100x a day for months. Type A here. Guilty. BTW, I will lay eyes on my car today, any minute! I'm awaiting the call that the truck rolled into the dealership like an expectant father pacing in the hospital waiting room!)

 

lol Breathe in breathe out

You can't enjoy the car if you suffer a heart attack or stroke.

I see you had a FF Cobra; I had a Lone Star (FE428), years ago. I wonder if they are still in business. You're not going to miss the constant circus that comes with those cars?

 

You analogy about pacing the floor as an expectant parent is so spot on. I have described the whole process to be similar to being an expectant parent. You know when you first place a deposit with your dealer you are trying to get pregnant. Then you get the call that you got an allocation is like finally getting a positive pregnancy test. Haha. The photo of your car on the assembly line is like the first ultrasound. Now you are pacing the floor waiting to see your car get backed off the truck as if the truck is giving birth and you get to see your baby take it’s first breath. But then the Dr whisks it away to clean it up and check it’s vitals before it get formally presented to you as a nice new shinny baby. Oh the joy!! Yes I have a sick mind. And no my wife is not happy about the comparison. Haha.

 

Trust me I wish that was an option. However the sales manager at my local dealership has made it clear that he will sell my car this year to help his bottom line so if he has the car either I buy it or he will sell it to the next guy in line who will probably pay
$20,000 more than me anyway. So he has me over a barrel on that one.

 

That's PERFECT! I keep telling my wife "look, I'm not nuts, look at what all these other guys are saying/doing." She says that doesn't prove I'm not nuts, just that WE'RE ALL NUTS! I'm ok with that. We're all in good company.

 

Don't forget getting the "nursery" ready! We built a new house two years ago and left the garage drywalled but unpainted and without interior trim. My wife doesn't understand why now it's a priority to get this done.

 

Yes 100%. I have been doing some serious nesting and the nursery is ready.

 

Love the floors! Any more pics of the whole pattern? Are those vinyl tiles or more like a RaceDeck-type interlocking tile? I'm planning on some vinyl commercial tiles in a pattern similar to this with a few colors. Armstrong even makes a "Gentian Blue" VCT, so obviously I'm going to need some of those to match my GBM paint!

 

I'm going out of my mind here! They induced at 10:30pm! (translation: my car left the port at that time). It's a 3.5 hour drive. Where the hell is it?! I hope there weren't complications with the delivery!
