Delivery Packet from Porsche arrived. It was in a very nice leather carrying pouch embossed with the Porsche crest. In it was everything we would need, our hotel voucher, two taxi vouchers, details concerning the delivery process, and other information about the car.
During the last week in September, we received word that the car had been built and was waiting for us. We packed our bags and on 4 Oct ew to Chicago for our Lufthansa ight to Frankfurt.
Navigating the Frankfurt airport was a breeze and customs/passport control was very ef cient. We took the ICE fast train from the Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart.
On the 6th, our taxi arrived on schedule and we were off to the Porsche Factory. The driver was familiar with the voucher provided by Porsche, which made things very easy. Once we were dropped off at Porsche’s doorstep, we located the reception area and put our luggage in a locker, before being offered breakfast snacks, hot drinks, and pastry. They even had Gummi Candy shaped like a Porsche. We were scheduled to take delivery at 8:30, tour the factory at 10:00 and have lunch at 11:30. Our delivery specialist arrived and escorted us to the carpeted delivery hall where 14 shiny new Porsches were waiting their owners. The hand off took about 40 minutes.
