Alan--got out today for a short drive. The 718 keeps impressing me. It is just so much fun to drive and keeps a permanent smile on my face. It is really hard to keep it under 4500rpm--it just wants to go. Hopefully you will get your car this weekend. If I remember-- you are getting the S? Man are you going to have fun! ha ha I am hoping to get out this weekend for some more top down driving. Unfortunately, I am going to have some surgery that will lay me up for about a month so I am trying to get in as much driving as I can.
Good luck with those hard liners over on Planet 9! I can tell you that when I was looking to get a Boxster I drove a 981 and 718 back to back--the 718 was the superior car. I will admit that I was surprised based on everything I had read. It was just flat out more fun to drive. Keep me posted on your delivery.
Jeff
