Thanks! I ordered the banner through Etsy, but I no longer see it on their site (they probably got a cease and desist).

Looks great and sounds like a good time.

Serious question as I’m trying to rearrange my house and learn from the masters… where is all your crap in that garage?!? Mine is full of tools, lawn equipment, kids toys, and random stuff I need to get rid of (ok I know how to handle that last category but still).

I've joined the waiting room for my GTS 4.0!

How far de-synced is track your dream? The porsche app says that the car has finished production, but track your dream still says it's in the "start production" step. Either way, super excited to be able to see my car!

Great spec. Can I ask you what color you did your deviated stitching. Assuming it's the extended option with either pebble grey or chalk stitching since the steering wheel has it also?

I would tend to believe the more optimistic of the two. I see a greater likelihood of TYD being behind than the app jumping the gun.

Thanks. Actually, it's the regular optional Leather/Race-Tex with silver stitching.

My delivery date moved up a week once again. Not going to complain as it had moved back multiple times. Now mid July.

Interesting, on the Spyder if you opt for the regular option w/ silver stitch it isn't on the steering wheel or shift boot. Must be different for the GT4

There are many differences between the GT4 and Spyder when it comes to options and what is standard, if you are spec'ing a build understand that looking at pictures of the 'other' model may be misleading!

My single bit of advice on this is "don't assume" build it over and over checking and verifying only with owners of the same model.

Did you opt for the leather wheel and shifter instead of the Alcantara that comes by default? On the GT4 and Spyder, opting for the leather wheel/shifter causes you to lose the deviated stitching on both. The only way to get the leather wheel/shifter and the deviated stitching is to pay for the extended deviated stitching option.

If you have the Alcantara wheel/shifter, and you don’t have the deviated stitching there, Porsche ran out of thread 😃

My BGTS finally made it to the dealership this morning! We weren't expecting it until next week! Surprisingly, TYD has been pretty spot on for most of my journey. I got updates, on the same day that it left Emden, arrived in Baltimore and arrived at the dealership.

The car still needs to get its PDI and will be sent off for PPF afterwards, so I won't get it for another week or so.

Congrats! Love the black on black.

Do you mean the Porsche app on your phone? How do you load the car into it - it’s asking for a VIN I don’t have.

I’m curious what that might say for mine, I entered production in the 5th and was supposed complete CP8 today but finally this evening we lost a month and now completion date is estimated June 10th. Ugh.
