had my garage floor epoxied 3 years ago, still good as new

My Spyder reached the San Diego port on the 27th. Still waiting for port processing and the trek 80 miles north to Newport Beach. These last few days have been grueling.

80 miles isn't far.
Hopefully on an early truck tomorrow morning. Bet you get a call tomorrow around noon.

Saw the truck unloading at my local dealer on New Year's Eve when I was out running chores.

That looks great! I did epoxy at the last house but had a few issues with hot tire pickup and the clearcoat yellowing, so I thought I'd try something different.

Default My long wait is over

My truck arrived on 12-31. I got lucky on the weather because it got up to 70 degrees that day. The next day it rained the whole day and today we had ice and snow. But I arrived at the dealership just in time to see the truck give birth.


I peeled off all the stickers myself.



I took it home dirty and gave him his first bath.


Say hello to Brucie







I believe the video of the truck (attached below) is showing the result of contractions. If you want to go along with the whole pregnancy and giving birth analogy. I had another video of the car backing out of the truck but it was too long for this format.

The Mediterranean Highway is on its way to Houston! I have never in my life been more excited about a bit of maritime scheduling.

Soon enough, fellas! Soon enough. (ok, not soon enough, but I'm routing for ya!)

If it's any consolation, I've only been able to drive mine once for 45 miles since I received it. It's been raining and now it's getting PPF. I didn't even drive it to the shop because of the weather!

Moved from Entry Port to Port Processing this morning even though the date shows 12/29/21. Very slight movement but hopefully on a truck in the next couple days.

are there any current known shortages that could cause delay from the port to the dealership? i know a few months ago, there was the tpms one...is that still a thing?

the reason why i'm curious is because my car arrived on 12/28, but it's not scheduled to arrive at the dealership until 01/14.

Haven't heard of any. Seems all cars are being delivered complete now. I think its just more of delay due to the holidays and possibly some labor shortages at the ports/trucks.

Just got a note from the SA that the car has passed port inspection and released to the transport company. Getting closer.
