Seems pretty easy to figure out: it's the one with the best Kool Aid.

I think maybe he was asking why they needed all of this week in addition to last week to get the car ready even with your sales guy back from vacation now. Seems like the car has been with the dealer for close to two weeks by the time you pick it up. Or maybe Friday delivery was your choice. Either way, please post pictures tomorrow and please let everyone who have asked for the dealer's name know which one it is. You're ok with the way you've been treated which is fine. A majority of those who have replied here are not so you can provide much appreciated information here. Good luck with the delivery.

Well it's that day!. I plan on a 90 minute yoga class this morning followed by lunch and I plan to be at the dealer by 1:30pm today. Unfortunately sunny Florida isn't very sunny this morning. No matter. And yes to the query about when I wanted to pick up the car. It could have been any Friday, Sat or Sunday. My sales guy didn't get back until the 25th, the Saturday of the holiday weekend. The car arrived at the dealership on the 21st. So there was no other earliest time I could get it except today so he could deliver it.
I'll give a blow by blow later, hopefully with pictures, weather dependent.
As a preview, I got black/black with 20" Carrera classic wheels, colored Porsche wheel emblems, clear side marker, sport design steering wheel, PDCC, Prem. plus with 14-way seats, PSE, sport chrono, spacers, bose, full tint, black xenons/pdls.

Saint...Zen Master...all applicable. Even a 90 minute yoga class pre-delivery!

Hope you have a great day Lonnie, and that you are very happy with your new ride.

I'm in ft. lauderdale on business frequently, maybe I'll see you on the road, or meet you at Brewzzi in Boca for a tuna sandwich!

I had a very exciting time picking up the car. It had been raining all day but when I got to the dealer, the sun was shinning and my car was sitting there ready to be picked up. As you can imagine, they had everything ready and it literally took me 10 minutes to sign the paperwork.
My sales guy showed me the usual features of the car. I was really taken by the effect of the tint with the color and the black pdls lights. As strange as it sounds, the extra waiting time made it so much more special.
These are a few pictures I took when I got home. By then, the weather had turned cloudy again. You might say, "it's just another991C2S" but the difference is it's mine and I'm ready to rumble....

Congrats on finally picking this bad boy up, it looks incredible. Isn't it a great feeling driving around a 911?
