Awesome. Mine just dropped off this morning at Port of San Diego. Mine is the second PTS Spyder to be built according to the database. I'm curious where this green car is on the list.

I doubt that is a NA car unless he's a mailman...

Ha!!! Didn't see the right hooker on it. Hope that mailman was awarded the rural route!

Noticed that Porsche pads their transport schedule by a week. Looks like mine will arrive end of March/beginning of April.

That's great news Donovan. Not long now. Have you seen the pics of 550.Spyder's car now he's had the stripes fitted? It looks awesome. They're on the pff forum.

Yeah... he's been sending me them via email. He said that he revising them to line up with bonnet more. Once he gets them revised I will post the final look. It will look great once it's done!

I'm guessing the yellowish one is birch green? Damn, I love that. Should have gone with my gut on it. Note to self: ignore wife's input on car colors

Also great news on moving up a week Donovan!

Ipanema Blue - you made the right choice. I think you'd tire of the birch green pretty quickly. Wife's input is usually on target. When I was choosing colors for the S, my wife looked at what was out there (not PTS, but avaiable standard/extra cost colors) and said "no comparison between GT Silver and others - get that one!" I'm glad I listened to her. She was right. But, I knew that anyway...

You're wife has good taste! Mine likes black and grey only, hates most bright colors. The look into got when I showed her birch green.. You'd think I'd just asked for a divorce, lol!
Come to think of it.. I got that exact same look this morning when I showed that pic to her

The divorce look came when I showed her the bank check made out to the dealership. But, that's another story. Your choice of Ipanema Blue is a "safe" one compared to the Birch Green. I really think you would tire of that color after a while - blues work so well on the 981. Now, if Porsche would only build your damn car!!
