What ship were you on? I have one on the Courage that is delivering in Nor Cal. Curious if they land at the close dealers that fast. Looks like the same dealer…..

Beautiful car. What wheels are those? They don't look platinum and they don't look black.

Platinum but I agree w you, they look pretty dark in the configurator. I had platinum on my Boxster S and loved the look of them.

I was on Glovis Clipper, so the car has actually been at dealer for about one and a half weeks, the wait has been agonizing!

Thanks for the update. I lost 3 cars during Irma and actually need this car. I hope you made out okay.

I haven't heard of any Burmester caused delays.
Shipping delays are really bad right now... Backing everything up.

Lost like you misplaced them? Stolen? Flooded?

Well, the time has come. I'm officially checking out of the waiting room. I wish you guys the best. Hang in there, your car will look better in person than any photo can do for it. PECLA delivery was well worth the experience. I highly recommend it. They really take care of you and make the entire experience special and take it to a new level.

Flooded
Irma was a high cat 4 hurricane when I got hit. I had 4 feet of water and it's not a joke around these parts.

Yeah, here's platinum on my 981 and I felt like they looked bronzy.

Well done, car is beautiful! Is that your pop In picture two by any chance? If so, that had to be something. My whole “thing with cars” like many goes back to my Dad. Enjoy it!

That is indeed my dad. I couldn't think of anyone more special to share the moment with. He is a car guy too. He still has his original high school car (1970 Camaro) that was coincidentally my high school car as well. Now that I have the Spyder handled, I'm going to be helping him pull his car apart to restore it to its original glory. Engine should be coming out shortly. I was very blessed to have him there with me, and it was amazing how much they included him. I was allowed to split my track time with him, and he told me once it was over that if he had the garage space he'd be buying a Porsche the next day. I never figured him for a Porsche guy, but a bit of seat time can convert anyone. These are truly special cars, and we are all lucky to be able to enjoy them.

Fantastic! Anyone who says “they’re just cars” just doesn’t get it. Great story, thanks sharing. How was the track experience?
