Today I graduate from this thread! I hope you all get your cars ASAP and the port gods are in your favor. Thanks for all the advice. Now time for me to figure out the best upstate NY roads, how best to hand wash, and next roadtrip!

@RatherJaded do you (or anyone else) know the next ship to go to Baltimore? The Wolfsburg has left Emden and I am unfortunately not on that ship. Argh.

My car IS on the Wolfsburg. My status changed to:"Your vehicle has left the German port late on Aug 8th and I tried the hack using Chrome on my Mac and found the ship number which is the Wolfsburgh! Very excited. Sorry you missed it #TheDrivenGarage. When did you get to Emden? I'm going to Baltimore and my dealer in Barrington Porsche. How about you?

Congrats!!! I am so jealous. i am a little spoiled because I did European Delivery so I have gotten to drive my car for a month already, but miss it. I have an airtag in it, so I am tracking it. I dropped the car off on July 29th and it got to the port on the 6th just as the Wolfsburg was getting there. So I knew it was a long shot to get on. Fun pic from Nurburing!



My dealer is Porsche Exchange, are you local to Chicagoland? Or just getting yours at Barrington, I want to connect with more locals here. PcA seems cool but not as active as soon of the other car groups I am a member of. Thinking about setting up a discord for us Chicago folks.

FYI for anyone that is on Confucius. It finally arrived into Port Jacksonville earlier this morning after being anchored outside of port for 2.5 days.

It's the Hack, not the chrome hack. It's been described here with step by step instructions. On the My Porsche app which describes the stage you are in and when you get to stage 8, the hack shows you how to look at the background of that web page and see additional information, including the ship you are on. On Macs some have had problems using Safari, so I tried it using Chrome and I could identify the ship and now track it on Vesselfinder. The dealer can tell you too, but mine hadn't gotten around to it yet. My guess is that user Ratherjaded posted the hack so you can search his posts. It's long so I won't post it again unless you can't find. Cheers

ThedrivenGarage,

I live in Naples,FL and stumbled into the allocation that Porsche Barrington had. We have two Porsche clubs here which are active year round which is very nice. Something to do every week.

You did European delivery. I did not even explore that but maybe next time. Want to say more about it? Love to hear more.

We graduated today!

Took the long and twisty way home from the dealership. A great drive, only a few rain drops!
