    So far I can account for every one of them... ;)

    Paperwork just FedEx'd, just need to meet the transport in front of my house in a few hundred thousand seconds. :)

    Does it count if the transport has Cavalinos on it, and the Cali T is inside ?

    OK, rear seat passenger floors mats and trunk floor mat have shipped. It's a race to see if they beat the car here, all depends on US Customs coming in from Canada.

    I'm REALLY thankful that the Canadian Post web notifications don't have a Stage 90... ;)

    Does the Cali T comes with rear floor mats and trunk mats as standard?

    Just ordered my new California T last week. Got an April build date and am told the car will be in Houston by early June. Ordered it in Nero Daytona WB 508 with a Cuoio interior. Been an Aston Martin owner for years but finally got tired of the dated technology and substandard dealer service. I'm really looking forward to my first Ferrari and the California T seems like a great way to break into the world of the Scuderia.

    +1. Although my dealer service was okay. I loved the look of my Vantage and DBS and the noise they made but the gearbox on the DBS was not good. Never really felt at one with the DBS and just hope my experience with the Cali T will be significantly better.

    It does not. Driver and front passenger get mats. I ordered and received front custom mats from Andrew at ExotiCare, and then followed up with rear passenger and trunk to match. See earlier in this topic for pics.

    Got this in a video from Michael at FofAtl, ending Stage 91. Today I set up this still capture.

    400 miles and a few hundred thousand seconds away...

    I sold my 2103 DB9 on the Cali T and to be honest the difference will blow you away.

    The Ferrari is so engaging and begs to be driven and I cant stop driving it . On the other hand the DB9was a gorgeous car that i coundn`t stop looking at but really was not fun to drive and always felt fragile.

    I definately WAS nervously focusing on his left wrist as the video progressed... ;)

    Detailing, full body clear wrap and window UV film is all that is keeping it off the transport and heading west...

    Before I read this I thought I was at the maximum anticipation.

    Now I'm at max + 1. :) :)

    I'm thinking I better order new tires right away... ;)

    I would have expected an Aston Martin from 88 years in the future to compare pretty favorably to a present-day California T, but it IS, after all, a Ferrari...

    Seriously, this gives me even more assurance that the California T is the right choice for me! Thank you for your insight. :)

    Tom, have you been able to see and/or drive a Cali T at your local dealer?

    I was unable to edit the post but it should read 2013 DB9 ...

    I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice.

    I actually saw that straight away but knew it was a typo. One has only a short time window for edits. My edits have all been for typos. I've given up posting from my iPhone, those have been chock full of typing mistakes.

    I did identify with your original post, however, as 2103 is the year my car will arrive in my garage (...OK, it just SEEMS like that...). ;)
