That would be a good one... but no, it's not that sophisticated.

A life, what is that???? We are 911 owners after all...

OP - I watch YouTube videos/reviews of the car at night and also buy some upgrades in advance from Suncoast (like alcantara no label visors, clear side markers, etc)

Try to forget about it and focus on work and getting some exercise, at least that's what I'm trying to do...

If I ever do an advanced trade-in the next time I order a vehicle, that may indeed be a good option. Sure beats renting or Ubering around while waiting...

I got my 911 just before winter, only managed around 400 miles before parking it. It's been a hard 5 months walking past it in the garage every day.

I think waiting for the car to be made and delivered is actually easier 😀

Not really. You can at least sit in the car and smile.

Or apply 15 coats of wax, do some mods.... j/k

Not if you live somewhere you wouldn’t park it all winter.

True. I've actually installed a short shifter, led side markers, and made engine sounds in the driver seat over the course of winter
