West burbs. Got my car from Napleton. Cars and coffee I take the whole family so it's in another car. The kids still enjoy/tolerate our company. Also the whole family to autobahn, Blackhawk, gingerman and my fav, Road America.
I wish I had more choices when it comes to the interior, but that's ok. I went with black/red stitching/black brushed aluminum. I like the color scheme you chose, they look awesome on the Spyder but it's an expensive CXX on that one.

Understood about the kids. Savor every moment.
We don’t get to Blackhawk, autobahn, or Gingerman (my personal fav) much these days, but you might have seen us at Road America. We’ve done 7-10 days there every year since 1987. This might look familiar

Just got an update from our SA. We don’t arrive in Baltimore until 11/11, so we’re likely on Siem Aristotle which doesn’t arrive in Emden until 10/25. Dealer ETA 11/18. Oh well.

I recall your car there. I used to drive a silver 991 with a red top. My wife and I shared the car on track. When the kids were younger we used to all go in one car, plus two small dogs. Quite peculiar scene...

Well, just a week apart. It changes all the time. I was on that boat until past Wednesday.

BTW, where did you see which boat you were on? The best I can do is try to match schedules.
The new schedule is a 3 week slip from TDY.

Love to see (hear) about wives sharing the car. We had a guards red ‘91, 911C2, that we traded for the Cayman. We’d pack everything in it for 3 days. We’d fill up in the morning, each run two sessions, fill up at lunch, and run 4 more sessions in the afternoon, and fill up to be able to make it to dinner. We’d drive home on a sliver of brake pad and the backing plates. My wife even got her club racing license after 350 track days and we’d share the car during enduros. Makes it easy to justify news tires.

My delivery on TYD just slipped from 10/28 to 11/18. Seems consistent with what is posted above since my car is headed to Baltimore port. The wait continues!

Well poop, i got hit with a 2 week delay. Estimated delivery is now showing 12/09 when it used to be 11/18. Was hoping this wasnt the case more so due to a rumor i've heard about interest rates going up even more in November so i was hoping to avoid it. oh well...just when it seemed so close...

Contact or join a credit union and complete your auto loan application now. Most of them, once approved, with guarantee a rate lock for 60 days. This will likely protect you from the BIG BAD FED rate hikes for a short while, and hopefully until your car is delivered.

Boat is moored in Houston as of last night. Now it's the race to see how fast they can get it offloaded, port processed, and 18 miles from port to my dealer.

However, I totally forgot that I was getting PPF done through the dealer (through not by the dealer... they're subletting to a local shop and I've seen their work so should be ok)... so even if it's ready this week I likely won't be able to drive it. Hopefully see it. I'm already setting my sights on early-mid next week and that's assuming no hiccups at the port or Bose chip f*ckery.
I keep forgetting these little nuances. At this point I JUST WANT THE ****ING CAR lol.

Ah yeah that definitely sucks. I'm in California so there's no such thing as winter here so I'll still be able to drive my car around even being right in the middle of December.
