Hehehe, I can use all the tips I can get. Full leather is calling my name but I don't hear it, or do I.

A tip would cost around $3K in Porsche land, right?

Oh, that kind of Tip. I chose stick. Right now you could tip my over with a feather. I'm playfully happy, like a frisky kitten.

Congrats Lori, any idea how long you'll be a waiter?
I found the "tips" here to be excellent.

Finally, I got my build date today--it's being built this Friday. Now I think I'm really shaking like I've had about 6 double Espressos !

Congrats on your order. Welcome to the "waiters' club." You will be amazed how SLOW time will pass.

Good to hear you're in the queue! (I'll be waiting so much longer!!!) Here's a tip for waxing your black car--put the wax on by hand,--only by hand. Don't use any sort of rag, towel, sponge, babydiaper, etc. THEN remove it with a suitable terrycloth.

Dan

P.S. When I first saw these threads about "waiters" I thought I have been paying TOO much in tips in restaurants if they can order a 997!!

Welcome to the 'waiters' club. I have found that if you go and buy Porsche paraphenilia periodically it helps pass the time. Also playing need for speed porsche unleashed helps

I got a completion date of December 5 (I guess that will be considered the 'birth day' then?
