lol. Being first to fart in the seat is one of the big reasons to buy a car new.

But why would they put your car in the showroom, and why won't you be there to pick it up ASAP after it arrives?

I went from Dec. 13th to Jan. 13th to Jan 18th and now Jan. 31st. Get this; my dealer is telling me even with the Jan. 31st completion date, the dealer will not get the car until April 14th. Ten weeks to get from Germany to San Diego???? WTF! BTW, no reason given. It is what the computer says.

Rob, I have no idea why this is happening. I hope the dealer is not playing games with build dates.

nick build dates have been jumping all over the map right up until about 2 weeks ago or so. Dealer says it's been really weird for the GT3 but obviously it involves changing production schedules as pag figures out how to deal with the backlog, quarantined cars, and other non-gt3 model pressures on the production line.

You're probably right. As I said, waiting is no problem so long as it is fair.

Y.. but the waiting is tough. Found a bunch of cheap Isle of Man TT videos on Apple TV to get me thru the day.

My issue was getting the allocation. Once I had that, what will be will be.
My delivery date also got pushed today from April 14 to May 2. Not a big deal - just excited to be getting the car. I did waver on my agate choice today at the dealer though. They had a 991s sapphire with satin wheels and ducktail that looked spectacular in person.

@sechsgang -- What date did you get most recently delayed from?

Did everyone receive their most recent delay news today?!

@Dude -- when was your last update? I got line a few weeks ago, literally the same as you. I went from mid December completion to mid January.

Hopefully, there's some slack built into the estimates.

I sent them the payment yesterday and requested my updates. Got the email today. I'm still locked in my room if anybody is looking me.
