    Auto Banner

    I have waited for three long months since I ordered my C2S. It is finally on vessel (the Auto Banner) headed to San Diego, then to my anxious lead foot in Los Angeles. The wait has been most intollerable these past few days, knowing that it is so near. A little about my baby:
    -Atlas Grey
    -Short Shift Kit
    -PSE
    -Thicker Sport Stearing Wheel
    -Sport Seats manual (less wight)
    -Sport Chrono
    -Speed Yellow seat belts
    -Aluminum Foot Pedal
    -Bose Sound

    I cannot wait to post pictures for you guys. I opted for the sportiest setting possible, i.e. no cheeseball options like park assist, etc.
    I do lament the fact that -20mm is not available to Americans.
    Vessel Docks Oct. 16. Pictures should follow soon after.

Good thing you have been doing those exercises to build up strength in your smiling muscles all during the loooong wait in preparation for the permanent grin that you'll be wearing. WHAT?!!!!

    I got a black 997s about a year ago and am quite pleased with all, but there are so many Black ones. So I was thinking about a custom color for a '06. Thanks to you I've
    got it. Cheeseball! Isn't that like Orange/Yellow depending on the brand used for the sample?
    Add a little texture and.....

    My C2 is also on the Auto Banner. The anticipation has just about worked me up into a frenzy everytime I dwell on it!

    I was hoping to get info on when the boat will pass through the Panama Canal. I want to watch it go through on webcam. Sick aren't I?

    Here's to a incident free delivery for the both of us

    Looks like Auto Banner is going to be late

    According to San Diego Marine Info System schedule the ETA has been changed to 10/17, whereas it read 10/16 when I checked it yesterday

    It has been nothing but delays with this car. It has now been 4 months since I ordered it. The wait is killing me. I have de-virginized catholic school girls faster than this.
