Indeed

True, and their unemployment is a fraction of California's.

I can feel your excitement from the other side of the country! Can't wait to see it unwrapped!

Do all cars have that much cover on them when shipped?

The one I just looked at when Brumos received it had all those covers on them. I was also told all 2012come with a car cover? Not sure if all Porsche or just certain models. Can anyone confirm?

How sweet is that. Cannot wait to see that one. Tell em to get the photos up here!!!

My '12 did not come with that much body wrapping. Funny cause the build order had a line for "full body wrap" at no cost. Maybe the factory does different things at different times, or availability or perhaps the complete wrap is part of the paint to sample option?

I asked my dealer to keep every single peice of paper/wrap/dirt, etc that arrived with the car but they still threw some of it away. Should have done it myself

Are you comfortable posting last four of the VIN. Trying to see where these last Spyders ended up. My Spyder was built 18 July, on a boat 22 July, and delivered on the East Coast earlier this month. I took delivery this last Saturday and couldn't be happier. What a great car this is. Last four are 5195. Thanks for sharing (you can PM me if you like as well).

I'd say my anticipation anxiety was just a bit lower than yours, but almost equal. The last few days before delivery felt like months.

Enjoy, looks good under those covers.
