So not only did I hit the 2k today I also got my 130k pen in the mail today as well ….. what an emotional day . Now just need my plates and registration to arrive and I won’t feel like I’m driving a dealer car anymore and can get to ordering vanity plates . I’m stuck and chuckled when I saw someone mention tea time . I was thinking time4tea , then I thought TNOTAGT as I have aero but might be too complicated for non Porsche drivers . Almost wanna do rentsdo but figured that’s asking for a disgruntled tenant to have at it with my car
I'm finally picking up my T this Friday or Saturday. It's been at the dealer since the 7th but there have been a number of things that have gotten in the way of me picking it up. One of them being that I was speculating the peso might have a rebound and I might be able to reduce my loss but no dice. As some of you know, I live in Mexico and much to my chagrin, the Mexican peso is one of only two currencies that have appreciated against the US dollar. Since I put down my deposit, the US has lost about 15% and that means that the car cost me an extra $16k since my funds are in USD. Ces't la vie. I didn't pay ADM but I now know what it feels like. Anyway, yesterday I jumped on a last minute flight to Arizona to visit with my folks who have been collecting all my mod orders. I came to pack them in their car and drive them across the border and ship them to my shop in Mexico where the car will be driven straight to in order to get a number of upgrades. Of course, full PPF and ceramic, but also new wheels, upgraded tires (got Goodyears and bought Michelins), TechArt HAS kit, GT3 side skirts and more. I have other stuff for my GT3, Macan and Infiniti but about half of this stuff is for the T. And yes, after a bit of repacking, all of that fit in my parent's CRV. Pics to come soon...
The Collection, West Broward or Braman WPB? How much was the ADM if you don’t mind me asking? I hope they don’t charge you to install the center caps and swap the side markers…..the should be able to throw in the all weather mats with the ADM you paid. Me personally I focus more on the exterior mods, I’m swapping the stock plenum for IPD, and put catless bypass pipes + tune.
Braman WPB, no charge, no ADM

@Radiationman I believe you're right about it being a speed alarm using the in car setting, otherwise there's no way a car can be programmed to only drive 15mph safely.
But yes, the My Porsche app has alarms. I set them up when my car was in PPF jail. It never went off 😁
Here's the break in schedule someone asked for.
I made my own version of that - a little easier to keep track of:
400 miles = 4500 rpm
500 miles = 5000 rpm
600 miles = 5500 rpm
700 miles = 6000 rpm
800 miles = 6500 rpm
900 miles = 7000 rpm
1000 miles = 7500 rpm (redline)
I also made a version in km since I'll be doing the "running in" in Europe:
500 km = 4500 rpm
700 km = 5000 rpm
900 km = 5500 rpm
1100 km = 6000 rpm
1300 km = 6500 rpm
1500 km = 7000 rpm
1700 km = 7500 rpm (redline)
Picked up the new T today and love it. Light on its feet, terrific handling, great noises and a really good linear power band. Lots of big smiles on the way home.
Finally arrived at the dealership this afternoon. Picking up on Thursday.
Indeed the yellow painted inlays look brilliant. Perhaps next to the GT silver one of the best combos. Love the yellow details and stitching. Why no yellow chrono?

Don’t make me start on this. I had to hide the keys for more than a week not to drive the T. It is hard. I feel like I am in rehab. Not even joking around. Even harder when reading all these messages here. Addiction is real. So probably today going for a drive again. Still at 8311km now. That’s almost 5200 miles.
Just spotted your trip computer! 5 and a half hours and 440k in one drive. Keen to get your running in done!? Good effort 👍
Actually I have done 600 mi from Guildford to Basel… what a ride
My wife went into sleep-mode, just as well we had 911 so she could recline the seat. In 718 she couldn’t .

Sounds a great trip @Pivot and a route similar to our intended in September, was it Tuscany you’re heading?
