My 09 Turbo is on the boat

Just got word from my dealer that my Turbo left Germany and is on its way, it's on a ship called the Coral Highway with estimated arrival in Baltimore on the 16th of August. Dealer says I should have it by August 20-21. I'm going crazy, can't sleep at night, all I think about is this car....
One more thing, should I look for a discount considering the state of the economy and the auto market??

That's where I go to, Jack S helped expedite my car I think, or it could have been my emails to Peter S at the time.

Thanks for the interest guys, but no, no Turbo yet. The dealer called and said Porsche NA is not releasing the 09s from the port until all 08 are delivered to customers, dealer says they don't want customers of 08s picking up their cars and seeing 09s being delivered also ( B/S maybe, who knows??)
They told me first week of September, so just waiting it out....
