grrr - car is confirmed in port - was scheduled for transport thursday Dec. 7th, but got pushed to Dec. 14th - and dealer says might move further

it's going to take 2-3 weeks to exit the port and make the one hour journey to local porsche dealers

I'm dissatisfied to say the least…local dealer insists there is nothing to be done to expidite the process.

grrr grrr grrr - [chant]1st world problem, it's a first world problem, it's a first world problem [/chant]

car delivered today - 100+ miles put on it driving it from San Jose to Santa Cruz - grip levels are amazing - front end turn in is magical - ride quality is acceptable but not "plush" by any stretch of the imagination.

Break-in miles are next - followed by track-prep - and then ultimately the first track day…

pictures in this thread from delivery - post #124

I sincerely appreciate everyone who has been following this journey - we've closed out one phase and are now entering the "drive it phase" - I can wait to share my thoughts!

Order Date - 11/22/2022
Manufacturing Complete - 05/25/2023
Failed Euro Delivery Date - 08/31/2023
Dealer Delivery Date - 12/07/2023
Customer Delivery and drive off… 12/08/2023

quite the journey!! I've enjoy'd sharing it with you all! I'll be doing Bay Area C&C's for anyone that wants to come out and say hello and see the car in person.

friends, lurkers, watchers, and those tired of this thread - I think I'm going to bring this story to a close - we're moving on from the quest to the ownership - but I still plan to share what I learn and experienc with my RS - and have started a new thread - this will be a "long view" thread where I'll shared the actual ownership experience for my RS

I hope you join me there - https://rennlist.com/forums/992-gt3-...l#post19157664

but wow - when I started this thread I had no ideas the twists and turns it would take - which is the joy of non-fiction real life - you don't know what tomorrow will bring - I had no idea what I was in for - and what a ride it was!!!

thank you again for all your support (public and private) - I super thrilled to have shared this with you all - and honestly it's been a blast - I'm not going away - just transitioning to an ownership log…but it's been super fun and I'm so happy now that I have the car - 3 days in it's a master piece from Porsche even by their standards - their GT cars are speicial - and we'll all very lucky to have these products as options…
