Oh my heavens, they send you AWARDS for buying their car!??! Knowing me, I'd end up actually displaying it in my home office... next to the multiple plastic "Ship on a Stick" awards I won on Carnival Cruises for identifying a horrifying amount of obscure tv theme songs from the 70's and 80's...

I'm also reflecting on the real-time experience of my husband's newish car, which is a "Ceramic Gray" Kia Stinger GT2, a limited production ICE sport liftback which isn't a Porsche, but is quite a zippy head-turner and he loves it. I thought he was going to want some kind of basic paint...

Sorry if this is neither here nor there, but after having a discussion with my husband last week to explain to him the situation with the heaters and holds, he suddenly started to get interested. I told him that no, the cars are not shipped in what he was envisioning as "containers" and I...

I love the compliment, thank you! I actually learn very fast :). I'm probably one of the few who wanted the car before realizing it was electric. Sure, dramatic flair is fun, but uhhh... trust me, my description isn't far off. I keep thinking about my first post here, just a few months ago...

Thank you so much for all that. I already joined my local PCA and they have sooo many meet-ups, events, and activities. They have a beginner's HPDE instruction and track day in May that I really hope I can register for, if my car arrives on time. So yeah, I didn't even mention the part where...

Cool :). Same here with my 2016 Pilot Touring, first off the assembly line. If that car wasn't so rock solid I wouldn't have even been looking for a Taycan. When I got it I felt like I was in an Acura MDX and at quite a bargain. This will be my first German car... and if I love it I may...

Hah I love how you don't even put the Odyssey on your profile, not that there's all that much room. But I'd love that data too. I could spiral completely and make myself some spreadsheet after piecing together the bits of data shared here, but yeah, talk about first world problems :D. Mark me...

Yeah, I'm going to call them tomorrow and explore my options for the full PPF. I've looked at other places, but I really like this one I've scheduled with. Family operation, been doing this for over 20 years, really believe in Xpel, and the woman was amazing and knowledgeable on the phone...

I so appreciate your posts, especially in all the other threads I've read! You know your own "crazy" and are respectful of those who can't go in that direction. I am the same way with other stuff I am super into and particular about. Honestly, I actually do have OCD and am practicing stopping...

Not gonna lie, I saw (and laughed with) your posts, and since you've been warmly received I figured maybe I could get comfortable. I'm a native New Yorker, but fully get British humor so yeah, we'd have fun I'm sure!! Thanks sweetie :).

Now, what if you took it through an automatic car wash with the flappy non-brush things? Would the paint start to get swirled up? Really understanding ceramic (especially from unbiased sources) is difficult, as to what extent it protects paint. Like, okay the pebbles that fall on my hood, PPF...

I think you both give excellent, equivalent advice. Thank you! If I do the partial PPF and go auto I'm still exposing myself to swirls and stuff. And we live in the suburban upper midwest, with horrible roads, salt and filth on the streets all the time, and I'm always stuck behind some dirt...

So, I'm going to be real honest here. And I've read every relevant thread multiple times over. So I thought I'd consolidate my concerns into one post.. This is my first car over $50k MSRP. Waited my whole life for a luxury vehicle, and pulled the trigger on a very equipped 4S due to arrive...

I'm notoriously off-topic, but I wish all the tech stuff was in its own thread because I know my husband would be so interested, but I don't want to point him here and have him see my embarrassing ETA obsession ?.

Well, for what it's worth, my SA always gets right back to me, and after I emailed him on Friday telling him my growing concerns and requesting he tell me ASAP as soon as he hears something, his reply was: "The ship is scheduled for 3/14/23 ETA to Baltimore. Dealer ETA of 3/17/23 is probably...

All I can say is, wow that was a blast from the past. Not that I ever owned a MB, but I remember the Delphi nightmare on this side of the pond, being in Metro Detroit. The job losses were massive. It was a rough time for the economy then, and we were just a young couple starting a family, and...

You're totally right, and I will cop to being frantic and paranoid ?. No, if the investments drop in value it hopefully shouldn't change my plans. I evaluated the performance of this income motivated portfolio I made several years ago as a supplement to a HY savings account, and for at least a...

Well I'll join the chorus and take the badge of the increasingly (and unreasonably?) frantic woman. All of this chatter has me totally freaked out today, even as I try to quell it. I mean, I gotta pay for this car, and yeah, it's something I totally don't need. So I worked on a whole...

That is nuts, October! Thank goodness for everyone communicating their status here because my SA told me this morning March 17th is looking like his ETA at the dealership. Marinetraffic is showing my ship is ahead of schedule too. I'm about to lock in a low interest rate I found and make a...

That's like my mom's '93 Honda Accord SE. It was only made for a couple model years.. In around 2002 she had it parked in a garage in NYC at her apartment building. There were a LOT of porsches, MB's, even a Bentley or two in that garage. Her spot was about 4 levels down, all the fancy cars...
