Seriously, when I first started this process I thought doing an ED would be really cool. However now, after feeling how painful it is to wait, I just couldn't do it. Hell I'm considering doing a PCD next time, not because I want the experience but because SC is on the East coast and it'll take less time to get the car.

Well I'm in the wait right now and it's definitely *very* agonizing. But getting to drive my own car on the pristine Bavarian roads, rife with twisties and conscious drivers and absent of any illogical speed limits, was an experience that everyone should take in their lifetime if they have the opportunity. One of those rare life experiences that lives up to the hype.

But, everyone's going to weigh the value of getting it quicker differently. And congrats to you, Jewpac! :drinking:

At least some people are getting their cars.. mine has been at port Hueneme for over a week now with no available transport or possible work being done to some cars there backing the line up.

Jewpac · 05-07-2008, 11:44 PM

I just got home, had dinner with the folks who came with to get the car. Short review, its fast, very, very, very fast. Handles very well. Im glad I didnt get the sport pack. Longer review when I get more than 300 miles on it. For now here are some pics.
