Amazing how the act of leaving it was supposed to doom the earth and everyone on it to certain death in our lifetimes a few weeks ago, and now Russian collusion matters more. No one in the media even really believes this BS.

Isn't there a Rennlist forum for this? The off topic forum?

Can we set up a separate forum for Trump trolls so we can just focus on cars here?

From the Forum guidelines sticky:

"Furthermore, they must not contain political statements, controversial messages, slurs or any other provocative statements. "

I broke the guidelines myself with the "shut up" post so, mea culpa. But all the posts about what one political side or the other thinks/believes are most unwelcome.

I believe we can discuss the facts of the matter - the EPA holding the cars as possible fallout from the VW scandal - without opining about how "dumb XXX party" thinks.

I'm sorry too guys. When I chimed in after reading the other responses I thought I was actually in the Off Topic/Politics section as I frequent that a lot. Didn't realize I was in the 991 section at the time. I hope you guys get your cars soon. I have a 2018 Macan S showing up this next week to go along with my 991.2. I'm hoping no issues with that, but doesn't sound like it.

Regardless of what political or social belief we have. We all share a love for porsches. And regardless of which side of that debate anyone falls on, they would be pretty upset about delays on their car. Especially when it's made and ready to come home.

So short of a Hollywood-worthy movie plot to go and steal our cars from the port, all we can do is share info as we get it.

Ooo you can dress up in all black and sneak around the containers. How many people can say they stole their own car?

funny, when I get the sneer from the Prius drivers at the stoplight, I stick my tongue at them and stomp on the gas when it turns green. I like how they save that gas for the rest of us.

That's the problem with you tolerant liberals, so accepting until you meet someone who has differing option than yours.

A lot of us are neither liberals nor conservatives and just tired of hearing the back and forth from the 10% most extreme on each side of the spectrum who are they ones most likely to talk about their political views.
