The blue "wipers" (in addition to blue "pool noodle" and other foam, white paint wrap, seat covers, etc) are just for transport. They're all taken off during the PDI.
Anyone figure out where the Riv/Mex blue GT3 ended up going in NS?

Ever heard of "tongue in cheek" humour? You seriously thought everyone believed the blue wipers were standard issue........

Except I understand the plastic wrap and pool noodles and why they are there. But wiper blades? Why?

Deterioration from the time the car is in-transit/arrives at the dealer perhaps? I noticed that Audi in recent years "cocoons" their cars in addition to the pool noodles. Heck, even VW has the solar charger mounted to each car prior to delivery/PDI.
With the amount dollars spent on a typical Porsche, the temporary wipers is the "least" they could do.
Come to think of it, Porsche doesn't even go to the lengths of Audi to "cocoon" the cars.....hmmmmmm
As a side note, Ferrari goes one step further.....cars are packed in wooden crates

I'm sorry if I didn't catch that sentiment in all of the prior posts. It's sometimes hard to tell online if questions are legitimate or rhetorical/sarcastic. Oops.
Neighbour is in the auto transport business and occasionally picks up the odd Porsche.. This beauty is sitting in Dartmouth NS en route to its new home.. thought the owner may appreciate a sneak peek if they're a rennlister
LOL - Just saw your post from Friday Mar 27th and Thanks for the pic ! And by the way it's PTS Mexico Blue with a ton of options.
There's a story here. A friend told me about Jamie's Rennlist post on Friday and how the buyer had cancelled .... So I called the Calgary dealer and minutes later bought it. And get this - I'm in Halifax, and of all places so was the car. Expecting to have it drop shipped in Halifax, I rushed to the Dartmouth Autoport around 1:30 but the car had just been loaded / shipped. I missed seeing / stopping it by about an hour .... !!! And this is after being stuck here for weeks due to snow.
Can't believe this picture was taken and posted here just before they moved the car !
So 3 weeks to Calgary a week at the dealership and now waiting to be shipped BACK to Halifax (here in 2 weeks if no delays) ... This GT3 will probably set a record for moving more miles than almost any other in the Country without ever being driven !!!
Attaching a more recent pic.
And here's Jamie140's original post on the car (thanks Jamie).
Great story! And fabulous car!! I'm sure you'll be on the edge of your seat until then! Congratulations! (BTW, I studied in Halifax for a number of years, and have many great memories of the city and people! Wonderful place to live!)
