Default It's here!

After the standard weeks of sweating the order decision, choosing options, building cars in the configurator, then months of waiting, followed by tracking the ship, sitting around on a Sunday afternoon to capture the attached Houston webcam shot of my ship passing by, THEN waiting again for the car to get on a truck... it's here!

My car (Guards red GTS RWD, manual coupe) is at my dealership, and I'm hoping they'll have it prepped and ready for pickup tomorrow evening. It's going to be hard to sleep tonight!

I've never seen someone so obsessed that they watch a webcam just to see the ship that's carrying their car! That's awesome!

Even better - I sent the photo do the sales manager at my dealership and said "Now that you know I'm crazy, maybe they'll expedite the processing of my car?" He called me to ask how the hell I managed to get that picture!

What dealership in Houston did you buy from? I leased mine from Porsche of North Houston. Tino is excellent. He has been in touch frequently regarding my engine issue.

Great choice. I did the same color in a GTS but with PDK. Last check on the site showed it in paint at the factory. Looking for a Dec 15 show up. I have done the same thing as far as building I bet 100 times on the configurator LOL
