Are you kidding? That requires a CXX option!

I'm sure it varies by vessel, but FWIW the Violet Ace appeared in Davisville this morning, docked, unloaded (apparently), and departed several hours ago for Houston.

I suspect it will get to the dealer more quickly than it will receive PPF and ceramic coat! That will be the difficult wait - knowing it is an hour away, mine, but being patient until it is well protected and set to go.

Out of curiosity, where is your car headed? Mine will be coming up to Mass.

My car finally completed CP8.0 on 5/25 after entering into production on 4/20. From the tag in the windshield of the last photo, it looks like it mostly completed production on 4/27 and just sat there waiting for something for almost a month until it completed CP8.0. I also lost the tire lottery and ended up with Pirellis...

Nevertheless, I'm estatic it's finally a real car. I've been staring at the photos more than I did of our son after he was born at the hospital... I can't wait to swap in the spoiler with the TWL ducktail and the clear side markers. I was worried about the red calipers but looks good with the black metallic paint and black/Bordeaux interior.

Anyway, I hope it makes it to Emden and onto a boat headed to the west coast soon!

How far ahead of schedule was this?

It left Emden 2 days early (5/18 vs 5/20), and appeared at DVV (Davisville) 5/28 rather than 6/3. They don't provide an estimate for unloading (which makes sense... will vary dramatically depending on what other cars are on the RORO ship and their destination). TYD haas in port, port processing, etc... 6/3, then at the dealer 6/17. As you can imagine I'm hoping it will be at the dealer this week. All depends on processing and trucking schedules, and I suspect the holiday Monday will delay things a little (as it should).

Hey - my GT4 is on the same boat but TYD doesn’t work for me as I did Euro Delivery. Could you please keep me updated if you hear anything from this point on? I was only able to track via the ship.

Just got my TYD to run. Not in a rush as it will arrive too late for track season but maybe some open top shenanigans.

I’ll post a more detailed update later, but I went and did my paperwork today. Since my Spyder only arrived yesterday they hadn’t yet done PDI on it, and service is closed today and tomorrow for the holiday so it’s not happening before Tuesday. They were figuring it would be ready Thursday, but I’m out of town Friday and Saturday so I told them I’d pick it up Sunday and don’t rush
