For what it's worth the museum entry is included (for a year). Well now that one has to pay for ED, it's included in the cost you have to pay. lol.

Porsche ED sucks! Never again! Took three months to get my car to the US! No communication from Porsche whatsoever. They make nice cars but shipping and overall communication? Not so good! Will just have to ship my 4RS over next year to drive the Autobahn!

I don’t understand the fascination with the autobahn. I grew up in Germany and was also stationed there. During ED I tried to stay ppf the autobahn as much as possible. It’s boring and congested. Plus with all the speed limits it’s no fun. There are tons of backroads that are much more fun. If you want all out speed I’d ship it to the fastest track and just go to town.

Eventually they may fix it and we’ll do it again. For now shipping the car back and forth, or buy and sell it in Germany maybe less painful.
The shipping part is easy, it’s the insurance in Europe I haven’t figured out..

Mine just arrived. Took about 6 or 7 weeks after dropping it off.

And it is a lot of fun, you just need to know what Autobahns to hit. You're obviously missing the last freedom (and only country left in the world) where you can go "metal-to-the-pedal". It's a thrill going 180mph+. I grew up with no speed limit. You Americans just don't know what you're missing.

There's no track in the USA where you can hit 200mph, maybe on an abandoned runway, lol.

Car almost there…
For a data point, I dropped off my car in Stuttgart on Oct 30th. Boat made landfall in Benicia on Dec 6th, and exited the port about 2.5 weeks later (the ports are slow at this time of year) and it’s presently on the back of a truck on its way to the dealership. So all in it will arrive less than two months after I dropped it off. That’s pretty fantastic in my book. -hyp

How did you guys remove the velcros from front and rear bumpers? It seems very sticky

Take the front plate with you when you leave the car and the leave the rest of the stuff alone, the dealership will clean that off when they receive the car back. This way, they are responsible for it if the paint comes off or is wrecked
