Just got word from my MA - he emailed me to let me know my car is leaving Charleston on Saturday June 27 and should be in Mentor Ohio by July 1. If all goes well I may be able to pick the car up later in the evening of that day!!

Oh if only you were correct. You've obviously never driven/parked in New York because parking in such close proximity to the vehicles in front and behind you is an every day occurrence if you choose or are forced to park on the street. The solution is the 'Bumper Badger' or 'Bumper Bully', nearly everybody has a variation of this now. I can't wait to motor, and park, in Seattle when we move!

That's weird, if you're in Ohio why wasn't your vehicle offloaded in NY instead of carrying on south in what is effectively the wrong direction?

But that close, you aren't going to get a hatch open either!

I can posit a couple of guesses: NY/SC labor cost differential coupled with the relative ease of trucking out of South Carolina.

They may have already earned them and just been enjoying driving too much to post!

Definitly haven't parked in New York, been there but never felt the need for a rental car. Seattle is much lower key than New York -- IMO. I don't think you will have that problem in Seattle...

Goodness- two pages in the two hours I haven't been on here???
But for good reason.... I SOLD MY CAR- well, it's almost sold.... 11 AM Saturday actually, to a nice girl who is working and going to school. I am happy- or will be when the cash is in the bank to go toward le MINI! As of Saturday, I'll be borrowing my dad's Dakota for X days until I get to motor.
Yay... car selling.... almost sold!

I am so happy for you. Your baby was on the SNV wasn't it? Maybe Maggy will travel to the upper Midwest with your MINI.

I know! It's hard to keep up at work...

Congrats on "almost" selling the car! That's exciting!!!

On phone with MA right now...
Said still show at the port since the 20th, although that is from "yesterday's list" and it all depends on "when it is unloaded off the boat" etc... but that he would call down to the port for me to see what they say...

"ooooooooooh"
