And, I am not pissed. I will get it soon enough. I am ... disappointed. No, miffed. No that does not do it, put out covers it better. OK, that is still not quite right. I am annoyed. No, how about aggrieved. Too soft. I am bothered. No, still not right. I am hostile or agitated or, wait for it, angry. Better, but still not right. I am hot under the collar, I am mad, I am beside myself. I am ripped. I am inconsolable. I am, I am, ok, I am pissed!

No really, I am very happy for you and looking forward to a full report!
All the best! And I truly mean that
Actually, I'm fairly certain you'll see your baby within a day or two.

Thanks. At the risk of both dating myself and showing what a nerd I am, I hope it is not like Mr. Spock once said -paraphraising- that having something is not as good as wanting something.

I am sure our cars will exceed all of our expectations. But then I am a Nationals fan so I am used to disappointment!

Go Nats!

Seems that the Carnation Ace is running late. It should have been in port by now but still shows as out of range. Anyone have better info?

JB991, again we must have alot in common. I have my clear front marker lights ready to go, but I am unfamiliar with "painted rear reflectors." What are those? Also, what is your build info?
My build looks like this

Carrera S
Agate Grey exterior, black interior
20" Carrera S wheel
Premium Pkg Plus
BOSE Audio
PDK
PASM Sport
Sport Chrono
Sport Exhaust
Smoking Pkg only for the cover
Deleted rear designation

The rear reflectors are the reflectors on the bottom rear of the car, below the tail lamps on the bumper. Based on what I've seen of the replacements, it seems like it should pop in and out just as easy as the front turn signals. I'll find out soon enough.
Think there's a vendor on here selling them, "bumperplugs" or something like that. I bought mine through IND, as I had to get a set for my X5 which is being built as well for the wife.

I am pretty sure my car is on the Carnation Ace as well and I am trying to find it but it looks like it is not at port yet ... if I find it I will let you know ... last spotting I found was on the east coast pretty close to Rhode Island but I couldn't tell the distance.

Gerenb - you must be a mystic - I just got a call from my salesman - the truck with my 991s just pulled into their parking lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure you are not reading this now - you are driving yours (congrats again and I can't wait to hear about the delivery process and see pictures). I will not be getting mine until Friday (I can't go tomorrow)

Now we are on pins and needles waiting for Newman, Gleek48 (sorry for hijacking the threat) and the others who are right on the edge of seeing their wait come to an end!

That is great news ... Friday is right around the corner and once you get it the long wait will be forgotten ... Congrats !!!

Is your car a PDK or Manual ? The reason I ask is I ordered a Manual and I keep thinking I am getting the first batch of manual's in the USA ....

Thanks! My car is a PDK. My build was posted previously - see my-991-s-build which had a last post date of March 8, 2012.

It was a touch choice to go with the PDK - my prior 997.2 was MT6 and it was good. I did not expect to like the PDK as much as I did. Congrats to you as well and I am looking forward to your build and pictures when it comes in!

Yours is days away also. I see that at lunch the CA had passed Key West and was putting some dust, as it were, between itself and FLA!

No worries. This is not MY thread, but rather a thread for those of us who are eagerly awaiting our new rides. It looks like I will live vicariously through you for a while. My luck will be that the car will come the day or two before my vacation and the car will be tucked away in my garage.

I actually think it is running behind its already delayed schedule. Thanks for the good vibes though and congrats on your impending delivery!

Thanks. I hope you at least get to get it home before you go away. You and Newman should have yours next week.
All the best

The Carnation Ace in now in port. I have been told that PCNA is trying to push sold cars out for the month/quarter end.
