I made the Boat - U.S. Bound!
Looks like I made the boat!
Talisman – arrival in Baltimore 7/22. Then if I can dodge the EPA guys and the BWM marketing folks and I could have my car well before 9/1! |

Looking online, some formulae suggest that 200lbs is worth 1mph. If it comes in at 21mpg, then that's very close to the 22mpg. Should be a lower GGT than the M6 cabrio. Small possibility we will get lucky. The test will be close.

I was told that no current Porsche models have GGT. Is this true? Even the Panamera Turbo S?!

I have been tracking the ship..... It is moving at a average of 16.5, not sure if that is knots or miles per hour. Either way that is the slowest average I hope the car ever sees!

Just happened to check with dealer and found out my car loaded yesterday and is already en route to Baltimore aboard the "Dover Highway". Expected arrival date 7/28. Clipping along just fine (knock on wood)

Thank you for helping me keep tabs!
I was at the dealer today. The GM did agree the car has not been EPA certified and had no idea on the timing...... I'm just hoping we get some news early next week. Anyone know how to keep tabs on certification? The EPA site is hard to follow. |
