Thankfully we have nothing else better to than stalk our cars!
Thanks for the updates. Feels like Christmas in July!

Your off the coast of Mexico…check Fleet Mon.

I’m on the Antares Leader and about a day behind you also off the Mexican Coast.

Not sure. I’m due in SD on the 30th so looks like I’m on time or a little early. Aren’t you due on the 8th which puts you ahead of schedule.

My TYD says port entry for San Diego on the 27th for the Grand Sapphire. The ship tracking site says an ETA of early AM on the 26th. Don't know if there will be any anchorage or if she'll go straight to dock. But I'm thinking you all are talking about Benicia?

Let's all just hope there are no port delays for our very last 2021's

Congrats! Yes, I am anticipating the first week of August delivery to Porsche NS. I already booked PPF and hoping I don't have to reschedule.

I was looking for a good PPF and tint installer in The greater Phoenix AZ area. Who are you going with and if you don’t mind can you share what the cost is and if you’re doing a full or partial PPF? I don’t mind going out to Scottsdale. I take my M3 to Parts Score for all the work. Thanks!
