Very funny Chris
What a long strange trip this has been, and still is. I’ve learned valuable lessons about the order process and myself.
1. Never sell your cab in the summer when the replacement is not available.
2. Get more in writing
3. Get more in writing
4. Get more in writing
5. I hate waiting.
Although the compromises (Cayenne, extra discount, etc.) may seem like I won, I didn't. I won't go into the litany of unreturned calls and discussions that led to the current status, but it has not been fun. On several occasions I have tried to convince myself that I should buy another car or go to another dealer. In the end, you do what you have to do but getting my car in November in the Northeast is like getting my car in April since that's when I'll get to drive it. Had I known this I would have taken a very different path with this order.
