impressive trip overall. I didn't see any real complaints - what would you say was the worst part of the CS in this type of usage? Being that it's more track-oriented than grand tourer.

First things first, hitting New Orleans and arriving in late afternoon. Enough time to get the requisite beignet from Cafe Du Monde which was still open (the only beignet place still open). We got the 3 beignets—absolutely delicious and then walked over to Johnny Sanchez (Aaron Sanchez of MasterChef fame). They serve Mexican food with a New Orleans twist.

Also great were the albondigas tacos (meatballs) only complaint about the meatball tacos was that it was a bit awkward to eat, but was great! Highly recommend this place.

Back to the Moxy New Orleans for the night and then an early departure to get the run-in service done in Baton Rouge. Drew met us at the dealership after we checked in the car for service. He now works at Porsche (next door—but also Brian Harris owned). We checked out Porsche and he took us on a little drive with the Taycan Turbo S and launched it a few times. Crazy launches!

Service was done and Drew then offered to get some photos of the car at his usual locations. Original plan was 2 locations, but he had other work to accomplish, so it was Alligator Bayou road and then some rolling shots, with Drew in the back of an X3 with the tailgate [...]

Great write up and lovely cars. However, I do feel uncomfortable that several real customers lost out on the opportunity of buying these cars through insider access. 😀
