I sure hope you're correct!

I wish I could find a web site that shows, as of today, Rhea Leader estimated time for arrival in SD port.

Sigh. My dealer already has my new set of winter wheels/tires delivered/stored/ready to go on the car as soon as it arrives. I hope winter isn't over when it finally gets here.

Glad you got the new T home safe. Nice wheels and perfect GT silver color choice.

Usually MarineTraffic has good arrival estimates at least for the next scheduled stop. I can't imagine the ship being held up very long at Hueneme before heading back down to SD unless those BMW hounds are doing something unsavory. As you probably checked, the ship now claims arriving at Hueneme on 12/22 which based on Shanghai Highway's history is much slower than expected so I'm hoping that the estimated for RL is off by at least a couple of days.

Got the Homelink programmed and then went out for another 30 minutes of driving around now that the traffic has faded away ... turned up the Burmester audio and simply took in the great vibes on a few back roads ... should sleep well tonight!

For all still awaiting your deliveries, yes, it will be worth it in the end. My wait started in early May and finally it's over.
Beautiful Porsche saundebn! Driving her thru rush hour traffic was a bit tense I imagine...glad you got her home safe.

Wonder if the Christmas holiday has anything to do with the delay between Hueneme and SD?

Here's a new one to ponder. If Trump shuts down the Government, as he has promised over the border wall funding, there will be no Customs agents to clear vehicles arriving the 21st onward.
