I guess based on the last requirement a bit of a wait is just fine for me.

Yes, this is more drama then I would have liked, or rather, not the kind of drama I would have liked. I shared your position (maybe with the exception of DCT as I'd be happy either way I think) until the guy called and said "you can have week 6 build slot." Hearing that and thinking about being able to jump in the car in a couple of months after waiting for years really changes the way you view the situation.

Thanks Swamp. Yeah attitude definitely matters. But having had my chest cracked open to have a joint fused to save the injured spinal cord results in serious pain, so athletics is out of the question for me--most likely for life--which is really annoying for a guy who has never really sat still. Risk taking can result in significant fulfillment in life, but can work both ways you know. Anyway, I'm hoping I'll be in good enough shape to at least enjoy this car when I eventually get it in year 2020!
