Good choice. Just to make sure @AJ_Judi@ctmartin123 and others see that as well.

Haha yes it is and true. For Caravans there are certain places to go. Not this one. About the click: the click actually is when you bring it back from 5th into neutral. Can you try?
The Siem Confucius is headed to Emden now….scheduled to arrive in Emden on Friday 5/5 at 10 am CST…from what I read on the ship schedules…..
‘Hopefully we can get on the Siem Confucius when it heads back to Jacksonville, FL…this carrier stays in port usually for no more than 24-48 hrs…then heads out to the US
So if it leaves on 5/7 and takes 12-14 days to arrive…that puts us at 5/19 or so getting to port….then probably a week or so to unload , process and get transported to the dealer…
I know that is probably wishful thinking…but you never know…it really depends on how many cars are waiting and which order they get loaded…
I should be on this vessel as well and it looks like the Siem Confucius made up some time but even if it loads right away it still has to go to Davisville,RI and Baltimore before Jacksonville. Attached is the shipping schedule from Emden. I got it from the Gt3/Gt3 RS forum.
I'm having a spec moment.... And it's driving me mad. I'm going for lightweight (aside from backseats that I need for kids) and classic. I live in the UK and black works for me, I'm a big fan of the ED wheels, but as this will be my first from factory 911 (had 3 used ones) am I missing the opportunity to go for a bit of colour.
I always go black or silver, but love Gentian Blue. Will it work on this build and these wheels? Or do I need a build/ style amend to accommodate it and then my build ethos has changed.
Am I overthinking, certainly. Is it personal choice... Yep. I just can't make my mind up and the clock is ticking.
Someday (hopefully sooner than later) I’ll be buying my first Porsche. Almost pulled trigger on a used air cooled 911 turbo back in the day, but passed on it since I unanticipatedly got accepted to Ivy grad school in NY leaving CA. Didn’t expect it because my BS GPA was horrible. Ha, I still think about that 911 turbo with whale wing on occasion. Drove amazing….experience permanently in memory bank. Hoping the T at least meets my expectations.
I’m thinking about joining Porsha Club America. Anyone have any experience with club in America or Europe? Any input is appreciated….good or bad.

Would love this groups opinion
Thank you!
My input for what it’s worth. EVERY color I’ve seen here looks great in various build combos. U should follow your heart/gut! Good luck. Ha, I know Porsha has so many options…
Been following this thread with interest, so only fair I uploaded my pic! Showed up today on the app. T in Jet Black, looks like they have removed stickers too.

Not sure if u ordered with or without decal. I ordered my no jet and no metallic just black with side decal, but my same pic lacked it. Looks like you are getting Michelins….

I joined PCA 1.5 years before I received my car and it's been a pretty cool experience thus far. You get a monthly magazine that is chock full of Porsche goodness. I also joined my local Porsche Club, Niagara Region PCA after meeting a bunch of members at Watkins Glen a couple years ago. One of my great friends, Scott, is a long-time member as he races a Cup Car and a hot Cayman, on Vintage Weekends, he teams up with Eliot Forbes Robinson in his car. A very welcoming group of people who are more than happy to share their passion for everything Porsche. I'm headed to Rochester, NY early Sat. a.m. for "Cars and Coffee" which should be a lot of fun. Late May I'm attending a HPDE at the Glen for two days, the chief instructor is a man I've met numerous times at the Glen and I cannot wait. Join, you won't be disappointed.

They put the decals on after this step so you wouldn't see them either way. Seems like most that ordered the delete got 'em anyway. Congrats on getting Michelins!
Join PCA and your local PCA too. I've been passionate (HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT) about cars, all cars, my entire life. I've had very diverse cars (GTO, Cobra replica, Mustang, BMW, etc) and I'm always very active on forums and local clubs. None, not one, gives the full experience that I've had so far with PCA. Hell, because of Porsche, 5 close friends and I are buying second homes together. And for the first time, we all get together with spouses too. VERY good people. The second closest experience of a welcoming community was the old school Pontiac guys. Every one of them would lend you an engine if you needed it. lol. But old school muscle cars and Porsches are not always the same crowd. All good people, but different.
PCA does so many events and generally does them well. I even attended my first Parade last year. Very cool.
Oh, and they offer all kinds of interests: Concours, Auto-X, HPDE, Cars & Coffee, and just social events. Something for everyone.
Just my .02. YMMV.
PS I've made friends on this thread that I'm planning to meet this year. You know who you are! (NY, FL, NJ, MA).
I almost forgot, I made friends with an enthusiast in Germany! He has invited me and my wife to join him and his wife for a driving vacation. And he's sincere!
