How does one time the delivery with time that you have scheduled off of work? I go on vacation to Europe every year in May. But when my allocation came up for my 991GT3 with a November delivery they obviously wouldn't store the car over there until May. It seems as if all of us will jump at the first available allocation available . Not many of us would do a late fall, winter, early spring delivery either. Too many mountain pass roads closed and generally crumby weather. So, how do you time the delivery to your preference?

to collaborate with your dealer to obtain an allocation and production slot that
is compatible with your desired delivery dates, which you (and your dealer)
agree with PCNA ED staff.
PAG will store your car for a short while, my 15' GTS was built in April and I collected it in mid-May...

AFIAK you can only do ED between April and Sept, if you want to do ED you have to collaborate with your dealer to obtain an allocation and production slot that is compatible with your desired delivery dates, which you (and your dealer) agree with PCNA ED staff.

You take a later build slot.
In this case the world revolves around Porsche.

no track events. I'm taking a very special lady--my 8 year old daughter. Going to spend some quality time together traveling during her fall break. Hopefully the weather in Austria will cooperate so we can enjoy some passes (Grossglockner, Timmelsjoch) in between Sound of Music tours!

I know I am in the minority and not to throw cold water on ED but I have travel to and driven in Europe more time than I can remember. What I do remember many roads are narrow especially in villages, there is an inordinate amount of speed monitoring, parking sucks unless your at top of the line hotels (even then it is debatable), driving in the bigger cities is chaotic particularly if you're not familiar with streets and European drivers are intolerant. On top of all that is you have to return the car and wait six weeks for it to arrive in the US.
Unless you're looking to track the car at some of the famous venues, better off renting a car relieving the burden of a $175,000 car being dented or crashed and really enjoy yourself.

However, if you want to drive the amazing roads/passes in Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy then its totally worth it. I am currently in Austria right now on vacation with my wife. We haven't been near a large city since landing in Munich. No hassles, no parking issues, just relaxation and amazing drives. Just 2 days ago drove Stelvio and at the top had 2 next generation Cayennes Park next to me. Spoke to the Porsche guys awhile, nice folks. They particularly liked the pics of my RS, and that my wife had a Cayenne!
We travel to Europe a lot, can certainly recommend some nice drives and places to stay where parking is plentiful and people are friendly.
So in summary, you should absolutely do ED if possible.

Historic charm - spoiled by US space
Obey the speed limits - tsk, tsk, tsk
No different than any big city in the US
They are for the most part better drivers than what can be found in the US - left lane hogs, etc, etc, etc. Someone must have expected that their US driving skills and etiquette would be accepted.
