On the way!

My 335GT m-sport switched to en route today. It's on board the Rigel Leader, and while the NYK Line seems to not know about that ship for some reason, it should be getting to port on November 6th and to Phoenix hopefully within a week after that. Can't wait for her to arrive!

Rigel Leader docked in Port Hueneme this morning! Hopefully only a few more days until I turn in my trusty F07 for my brand new F34.

Congratulations but I'm waiting for feedback on how she drives especially the dynamic handling.

Drives amazing. The HUD was really awesome for the freeway drive home to Tucson from Phoenix. Tons of power and was so smooth and quiet there were a few times I was roaring away at 90mph just because it was so smooth I hadn't noticed my speed creeping up. Really corners great, my F07 I always described as "a really fast couch", the F34 is still really fast and really comfortable, but no longer corners like a couch really feel plugged in to the road. One thing that really surprised me was the F34 has a deeper trunk than my F07 did. Moved our luggage between the two at pickup and it all fit better in the smaller GT. I think not having all that wasted space for the dual opening trunk like the F07 had frees up a lot of room. I do miss a few things the F07 offered, like the electric adjusting steering wheel and the door suckers. Wish those had at least been options. So far this car is everything I had hoped it would be and more, and it fits in the garage so much easier than the 5GT did

I put the order in the first weekend in September. They had a production slot open for 3rd week in September. Car arrived to the dealer on November 9th and I picked it up on the 11th, so right about 2 months.
