Is it normal to have second thoughts after getting an allocation? It's like I wanted what I couldn't have and now I can have it, so it doesn't feel special anymore. Please tell me it's a phase that lasts 24 hours.

Totally normal. The thrill of the chase. If you don’t want your allocation, I can use a second one :-)

Early remorse. It’ll pass. Buy the car.

Was traveling for work this week when my SA emailed me confirmation that my GT4 is on Siem Aristotle. Sure enough TYD updated and shows an ETA at the Port of Baltimore on April 8th. (One week after her berthing at Halifax). PAG evidently modified the shipping routes, as the schedule posted here a little while back did not have Siem Aristotle calling in Baltimore.

Picked up my car cover and clear corners -- and today it's time to Mr. Clean the garage floor. Had been missing my 911 alot recently with the weather changing, and even 2nd-guessed whether it was wise to have sold it. But I'm feeling better now. It's been 14 months since my demand order (V070) was placed, and it is FINALLY getting real!

For any of you west coast watiers already at the port, the Grand Legacy has left Antwerp and is headed north to Emden, arrival tomorrow. I'm hoping to be on it.

now starts the part where you wait 6 months to get your car in your hands, and that is super exciting as well!

Safe travels. I'll probably be a day or two too late for that boat.

For those waiting for Lake Wanaka to arrive in Halifax and then the US east coast, it is about 250 miles from Halifax now. Should get there in 14 hours or so (?)

15 months for me. Maybe. Slipping week-for-week lately. Happy to continue waiting, though.

Emphasis on the word hope.

I have a feeling there’s probably a backlog of cars ahead of me and even though I’m sitting at Emden waiting, I will probably be on the boat after that. From what I can tell there is only the Grand Legacy and the Glovis Supreme still on the schedule. Everything after that is in complete flux.

TYD updated with a picture of my finished 718 today.
And, I haven't heard people mention it before, but right below the picture of one's completed car is a link to a video of the manufacturing processes. I thought the video was well-done and it did have a 2022 date on it, so may be it's brand new.

Relieved to see I got through . . . . . with PCCBs.
Don't tell my wife I'm monitoring weather in the Atlantic now for a smooth crossing for Siem Aristotle.
