More “waiting room” type stuff… since the potential delivery day is getting closer, I started looking around at insurance. GEICO is quoting around $1,600 a year to add the Spyder to our policy, while Haggarty is quoting $3,300. I guess I keep it easy and stick with one bill. If we ever wind up in some parallel universe where the Spyder is commanding ridiculous used prices I guess I’ll revisit it. Overall, not bad considering the Spyder is roughly three times more expensive than anything else I’ve owned… I was bracing for a bigger shock.
Do you have your home and auto with them too (GEICO)? I am wondering how rough it's going to be.
I suggest researching EdGuard bolster protectors. Just received mine today and the quality is fantastic. They will be put on right after delivery and before it goes in for PPF.
I just saw those in person at an event a couple weeks ago and didn’t even know they existed before that… I keep meaning to email them and ask about Boardeaux. From what I understand some folks were trying to get together to do a group buy for the Bordeaux since that is a rarer color and the Ed Guard folks didn’t stock it.
In other controversial “insurance” type discussions, I am 99% sure I’m just going with a good ceramic (probably Modesta) and skipping the PPF at least initially. Might eventually go with something different like a stealth wrap to get matte Chalk.

Folks in Oregon and California should consider Wawanesa Insurance. I've been with them for a looong time and their rates have never been matched nor beaten (or even close), and I've shopped around considerably.

I actually just switched from Wawanesa (been a customer for maybe 15 years) to Porsche Insurance; rates were similar but Porsche gave me an option to pay monthly. I still use them for my condo insurance.
Dione Leader and Grand Champion are both in port in Zeebrugge and headed to Emden. Dione Leader is scheduled to arrive in San Diego a week before the Grand Champion.
Last position I have from him was three days ago on the other side of the canal (probably moored - purple boat on lower right in this screenshot). I’ll shoot him a message!
Circling back for the 4/29 lock date folks, just for kicks I decided to take a look at my homepage for MyPorsche.com. To my surprise I got a new message saying my GT4 is now scheduled for production, even though TYD still has blank dates. Maybe the delay won't be so bad. What I see when I go to myporsche.com What I see when I click "Discover current phase"
Mine has been saying "Your vehicle is now scheduled for production" since 4/4/22 but still no other dates. If it's scheduled then tell me the scheduled date!! GRRRR. Still hoping that email with the 4/29/22 lock date is a sign of good things.
I wonder how many emails they get saying “I better not be getting the wheels shown on TYD”
The weirdest thing is mine fixed itself after it went to “Production Complete”. It changed to the right wheels, painted roll bars, everything lol. Why not just start with the correct spec? We may never know. 🤣
