Yesterday I was IMPINV (vehicle complete and invoiced).
Today I am ONVESL.
I am soooooo excited,...the wait is approaching an end.
The really good news is that I don't have to worry about sleepless nights waiting for the car to come in,...I'm already there!!!!!!!!!

Are you looking forward to driving you new Porsche to holiday gatherings?

AeroSmith

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Coochas

That doesn't work to well for me,...we live in the South End of Boston and my mother and sister live on Beacon Hill in Boston.
The timing is actually not so perfect (ignoring holiday consequences) because I start a new job next week...new car, new job,... new daydreams (sounds like a Porsche ad).
Thanks man. How many miles are you up to?

Happy Thanksgiving Dave!!!!

Is she coming straight into Boston harbor? If so, that should trim some days off of delivery too!

Mine showed up into Baltimore Harbor on a Monday (boat pulled in Monday morning). Rockville Porsche is approx. 1 hour from Baltimore harbor.

Completed "Dock Prep" on Thursday.

Was brought to Rockville Porsche on Friday at 4:30 pm.

Picked up Saturday morning at 9:00 am.

So, perhaps you have your car once she hits port in 3 days?

Dave,--are you near your port? You would be down to a week or so now, right??

Is all the prep done for its arrival? Got the garage cleaned out, floor painted?

Alright Dave! ...

Nothing like getting served up a nice treat in time for Thanksgiving and for giving thanks!

Coochas

Thanks all for the comments!!!!!

Ben - I remember that waiter avatar,...I though it was very clever

John - I don't think Boston is a port for Porsche,...if memory serves the East Coast is Baltimore and Atlanta - but I may be wrong.

Dan - My prep work has involved ...
1) buying snow wheels/tires which should be arriving within the next 2 weeks
2) buying a Yellow "Club" to match the car (considering LoJack and I don't wish to propagate another thread on it)
3) asking Alfie@Ira to put me down for a bra (for the car,...I've trimmed down and don't need it).
Our garage is shared (about 12 spaces in our building) and it's reasonably clean despite having my space next to the trash room! Ah, city living.

I can't believe it's getting closer by the minute!

Baltimore, MD and Brunswick, GA are the east coast ports

Edgy01

Oh yes, I remember city living (sort of). (Lived in Concord, Lexington, and Chelmsford, and finally Nashua).

What a great city to drive a Carrera S in! Don't forget to increase your speed through the combat zone!

Dan

Coochas

Wow, the "Combat Zone" - you left a while ago,...before the Ritz Carlton II went up in that area!!!!!! Actually, it still is a bit questionable over that way but all the phallic-shaped-club door entries are gone.

Waiting is the worst part, Dave. Take it from me. My '06 997S arrived in Baltimore on Oct 4th. It survived the trip to CT and arrived at the dealer on Thurs, Oct 13th, more than a week later. I'm not sure if others have mentioned, but the MSO (paperwork) usually takes a few days to arrive by Fedex at the dealer, rarely coming on the same day as the car. All I could do over the weekend was visit and drool as the paperwork did not come on Thurs or Fri. My dealer called me Tues, Oct 18 at 9:00am to say the MSO was here and I picked up the car at 11am that day. That's a LOT of waiting from the time they told me it arrived in Baltimore on Oct 4...LOL. But, man, it is worth it!

Edgy01

Oh no! All that 'color' in south Boston. I left in 1994. To warmer climes! Full time cabrio country.

Wow - that is a painful wait,...BUT, I am one of the most experienced waiters around having spec'd the car back in August (1st in line to spec!)...so hopefully I'll survive.

Congrats Coochas!
Nice Thanksgiving and early Christmas present!
