Continuing my retrospective look into my journey towards Porsche ownership.

Tracking the dream (January 7, 2022 - 5.5 months ago)

"Sublime handling and engine coupled with uncanny comfort and flexibility—a truly epic machine."

You know, it gets a little more official feeling as the weeks pass. A little more real. I assume that's just going to continue on and on as we march towards delivery day, sometime this summer.

I should go back and graph the ups and downs; there would be a lot of them. But now, the feeling is one of a corner turned - and a hope that perhaps the graph will now show a smooth upwards path to the high point of the day in Germany that we walk into the showroom (or wherever they do it) and see our cars finally revealed to us in the sheet metal.

Porsche has a new website/app for us, finally launched in Canada, called "Track My Dream" and it brings a frisson of delight to see it set up with my official order number. The configurator render is there, along with (most importantly) a projected timeline with the 5 key milestones.
  • Order confirmed
  • Change freeze point
  • Manufacturing start
  • Manufacturing complete
  • Delivery in Leipzig
They're all the remaining steps in the process - the starting point for Porsche, but some ways into the journey for us. That's another thing I should do - go through my timeline and pull out all the key/major milestones - so that when we put all this story together, it's a full and complete picture, not just the one from allocation onwards.

Track My Dream can handle that part :-)
