S'ok, it's all part of the experience. Me, I'm just increasing my beer intake until delivery day .



BTW, my build locks tomorrow at midnight, GR with black satin wheels.

Haha, that would make me turn into an alcoholic.

Excellent choice

Too funny. I am losing my mind slowly too. Mine is due late March. Don't think it will ever get here. Hang in there

The car comes when it comes. Nothing you can do will change that. Once you have the print out from your dealer then just wait.

I'm with you bro! It's been about 3 Porscheless months for me as I sold my turbo in December. Aching for an exciting drive again. Our PCA had a drive last weekend and the weather was awesome. I haven't bugged my SA very much but he doesn't give me any updates without me asking. I think mine should be on a boat by now.

I did get the cake version though. I love my wife and kids!

About a month to go for the both of us! I feel like the last month is going to be the longest.

Normally I wouldn't care as much if the car came a week earlier or a week after since I'm already glad it's 3 weeks ahead of the original schedule. The only reason why I'm a bit anxious is (as I mentioned in another thread) that I may be taking delivery a day or two after my lady leaves the country for a week. Im really hoping my delivery date gets moved up a day or two so I can share this moment with her as she knows how excited I am to receive it.

Exactly! There have been a few events/PCA events I've wanted to join. Luckily it's still cold out so I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much since my car would be in storage 90% of the time the last 2 months.

That's awesome!!! Belated Happy Birthday! Mine was last month. You have a very thoughtful family

Once you get the car and do something really cool with it like set a personal record best lap time, or do a cars and coffee where everyone drools over your vehicle instead of the million buck Ferrari parked next to it, or perhaps a solo run down your favorite highway, the wait will continue. Even after you take delivery of the car, the wait to go out and "do it again" what ever again is for you, can be just as torturous.

For me, I will use your countdown calendar for my next track day. I can hardly wait!

I feel you! I go on youtube almost every day to see if any new interesting GT4 videos have been posted. Obsession can be kind of fun, but I recognize it's a little crazy... I guess it serves as a good disconnect from the realities of work, family, life and all their responsibilities.

Some people exercise. Some drink. Some meditate. Some read about other people's opinions of a car.

You should make a picture of the GT4 into a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle

It's what people did for fun before video games I'm told

I'm in the waiters club as well. But I've learned to enjoy the process after my experience with my F80 M3 ED order two years ago. I was so eager to get the car, that I didn't realize until after I got my car that waiting was actually fun in a weird way. Watching videos, going on the forums, meeting people, etc. became a part of life while I waited (as it now as I wait for my GT4), and it only made me appreciate the car more once I got it.

As they say, it's the journey...

You think it's bad now wait till your car is stuck at port for 7-10 days. That's when the insanity really kicks in.
