The nice part about that thought is there are probably a bunch of Porsche vehicles on board. So Scott's can be left alone and take, maybe a purple one.

A dude named Christopher won't be so happy if it goes missing.

Interesting landing point. I would have thought it would have been shipped to the port in Bayonne, NJ.

It's been at the Providence port since late yesterday afternoon but Track Your Dream doesn't indicate that yet.

It doesn't even look like it took the same route.

It didn't. My TYD had the ship going northwest out of Emden, Germany, north of the United Kingdom then southwest towards Nova Scotia. Not even close! The actual route was Emden southwest through the English Channel then west across Atlantic.

It's here!!! The SA said the Lizard Green T Interior is the best he's seen in a long time. I can't wait to see it tomorrow. I'll pick it up Thursday looks like but will definitely have it to go to The Glen this weekend for a race. Road trip!!

That cannot be real-that is a $400K special edition 911. I don't believe for a second someone actually took delivery of a car that looked like that or that Porsche actually delivered one in that shape.

Yea I’m not sure the story behind it.

it was posted on Reddit. Sounds like the guy is a photographer.
He posted the other side and it was fine.

Definitely and I need to get in and feel and see that gorgeous interior. My SA went nuts over it on the phone saying it was the best interior he's seen in a P car in a long time.

It was raining and the windows were not only wet but dirty. I tried getting a couple shots and they turned out terrible.

Just got home! My SA (Russ) said everyone who saw this interior said by far, it was the best Porsche interior they've ever seen and "I swear, I'm not bull****ting you." Later the Finance guy came out and said "You have the nicest interior I've ever seen in a Porsche, everyone here said the same." It is unbelievable. The noise level is nothing near where I thought it would be and the base stereo is perfectly acceptable to me. The auto blip is hard to get used to for a guy who always heel and toed. As I was driving home I had zero buyer's remorse like I did in 2004 when I bought my 350Z convertible. This car is unbelievable and I'm going to enjoy the ever-loving s#%t out of it!
