Congratulations.
From what I gathered, the first batch of vehicles have been severly limited in options. He couldn't specify yellow stitching he wanted, but it looks like everything else has been accepted.

I have no doubt the car will meet all your expectations. You set the bar high but I believe it will be met.
BTW when is the launch date? Didn't they move it up?

Sounds great RC congrats. Use some sleeping pills to get some rest
Not his style I don't think; prefers the torture.
Congratulations RC!!!!!

My dealer just told me mine will be here and I could possibly have it in June or July 8 if that is the real date. I don't think they really know yet do they?
The wait is also
Not 100% about it but as far as I heard, the US "embargo" has been changed from July 8th to June 24th. We posted it before and some other people from the US seem to have confirmed this. So I suppose that getting your car on June 24th shouldn't be a problem.

Good news RC! Congratulations...
BTW, how are you managing without your old 997S?
I know your wife has a Boxster S and you have your Cayenne Turbo, but you must be going crazy without a 911!!
The waiting must be real torture!
The weather has improved a lot over the last couple of days and yes, I miss my 997 Carrera S. You said it very well, my wife has a Boxster S, meaning that if there is sunshine and she can drive with the top down, I won't see the Boxster too often.
The Cayenne Turbo is indeed a great family car and fun too but no substitute for a sportscar, especially not for a 911. Yes, the wait kills me. My car should be exiting production around early June, so I'm sure it is going to stay somewhere on a parking lot at Werk 2 for another week or so until it is shipped to my dealer. And even if my dealer gets the car earlier (I suppose a few days before the launch date, June 24th), this doesn't help much. Apparently there is a sales embargo in effect until this date and the dealer can't register the car and get a license plate. If he gets the car documents earlier, maybe there is a way but looking at the past, it isn't very likely I'm afraid. Oh boy, almost 7 weeks to go...I wonder how those keep up who have to wait until fall or even early next year. I just hope we'll have a nice, sunny and dry summer over here in Germany, last year almost the whole month August was pretty cold and rainy.

Don't worry, RC! You appreciate things much more when you have to exercise patience before you get them

I understand you too well... it would be so nice to drive the turbo with this great weather in Germany right now. My F430 ist still in repair, waiting for a new gearbox unit from italy...
Well, a problem shared is a problem halved

What happened to your gear-box?
Let me guess: a F1 / clutch problem ensued by a gear-box problem
