"Athens Highway" is the boat. Baltimore arrival on 2/28 is the tentative schedule. I understand the port is backed-up due to snow storms and unloading may be delayed.

Guess my dealer was wrong. As someone else said, the boat he told me is already in the states.

I figured our Canadian friends would have cars by now? Wonder if this boat has their cars and docks in Canada first? Targa Tim, what the word brother?

Link to real-time location of the boat...lol

Left port in Emden (VW dock in Germany) a couple hours ago. This website is awesome!

Ryan and Al, you two better do the break in on the track? I'm so excited for you guys and I'm not even the one who's getting the car. Wonder how many local PCA guys are getting the beast.

Congrats. Mine is built but missed that boat. Should be on the next one! The guys at The Exchange have been awesome! They have been updating me from order to completion. Max Power, I sent you my info for the registry but have not noticed it on the page. I sent it along with my Vin which is 3627. I guess they have already built a few of these since i noticed someone with 3600 and 3611.

Thanks for the info. I'll be updating the registry tonight.

Remember that the GT3 and GT3 RS VINs are intermixed.
i.e. 3600 is an RS, 3601 could be a regular GT3, etc..

If you look at this "master" list, you can see that the GT3 and GT3 RS
cars are bunched together. They probably make 10 GT3s, then the
next 6 are GT3 RS, etc.. They also seem to bunch together cars
painted the same color. i.e. 4 greys in a row, then 4 whites, etc...

My car was PRDPNT yesterday and went PRDLST, not sure what that meant, but I should have a VIN number tomorrow.
