Hard to believe that my 8+ Month wait is almost over. Killing me that I will be out of town on the scheduled arrival date and will have to wait a few days to pick her up.

Join the club. My car will be sitting at the dealer waiting for me for over a week with all manner of scoundrels trying to buy it out from under me. Never mind those damn leaners with the pocket rivets. Scary stuff.

LOL. I hear ya. Mine is going straight for full PPF once I finally get it. She will be vulnerable to unprotected "interactions" in between. :-)

Dang, and you were sitting in Emden for a long time too - perhaps the dealer can tuck the car somewhere out of sight, and away from the leaners until you get back!

I have been assured that all will be protected. But you know how assurances go. I'll be cruising Lake Garda and worrying about my Spyder. But what a gift to look forward to on the marathon plane ride home.

If you were closer, I would throw out the same offer I made to @Adrift when he was traveling for business and couldn't pick up his car immediately - happy to go and stand next to it with a large club!

Looks like you guys are on the same route as Glovis Supreme. Good luck with the Panama Canal crossing.

TYD has my car in Emden in mid-June. Assuming all goes to plan (a giant assumption, I know), does anyone have access to June shipping schedules for the Eastern US?

Well, I finally took delivery of my GT4 today. I went right from the dealership and did a good two hour drive into the country. The car feels absolutely amazing and has exceeded my expectations. It's a little strange getting used to a PDK (my left foot went to press on the imaginary clutch a few times. lol), but wow, the responsiveness and aggressive shifts feel amazing. When I got home, I couldn't help myself and went ahead and completed my first two mods - clear side markers and a 992 GT3 PDK shift **** conversion. Here are some departing pics. Good luck to everyone in the Official Waiting Room. Trust me, it will be worth the wait!!!

Congrats and love that spec! Buckets look awesome too. Out of curiosity where'd you get the porsche banner/flag on your wall?

Nice car! That shifter mod is a really great upgrade to the interior. Nice job.
