Well, I was 4 when it came out, and didn’t see it until several years later. I did, however, get my first ride in a Porsche when I was in utero. My parents were teachers in Iowa and somehow managed to own a car that definitely turned heads in a small town :-)

Mine is still not updated to show on vessel, but it does show arrival of 9/4 now, a week earlier than it showed a week ago.

It does show the G Poseidon at Autoport Emden, where it has been for an hour or two. Kind of cool. Which is the best website to pay for the live tracking? Was it vesselfinder or marinetraffic? Or something else? I may splurge to get satellite updates so I can watch it cross the ocean :-)

On your TYD, click the On Vessel prompt, I think yours should say the same as ours... On Vessel 08/07....

Yes, it does—thanks. I was getting hung up on the fact that the “current milestone” is still arrival at Emden port.

I'm so happy that you guys caught a ship out before August vacation!! BTW...I often did a search on Google "Porsche Ship Swift Ace" and I could find quite a few different tracking sites and information. You may want to try it with Poseidon.
When I was a kid I met someone who had a really ugly bulldog. When I asked them what the name of the dog was they said "Ernest Borgnine". Your post above brought back memories of the dog ;-)
