@gojogo OMG, that must be driving you crazy... so close, yet so far. Maybe they'll let you sleep in it?

I was going to say the same thing. You should reply to your MA saying, Great! I'll be there tonight before bed time.

Thats so awesome your car is there!

Looks like I will be on the Faust with you guys. My VIN showed up today!


@gojogo
Congratulations my friend! Maybe you can just sleep in your car outside the dealership for the next couple days and see if you can spot it.

Congratulations christo4ferris, mattdaemon, and anuppercasej!!!!!! When does the Faust land for you three? I wish I could say "it'll go by quickly" but it didn't for me. Tracking the Undine was torturous! Sorry

And thanks uppercasej, I hadn't thought of hanging outside the dealer. I'll have to be inconspicuous or they may have me arrested!

Way exciting for everyone that's being called! Pictures please when your newborns arrive!

For those with USB support, make sure you've got a usb flash stick loaded with all of your favorite music. You'll want to take it with you to the dealer, so you can roll the windows/top down, turn up the music right away, and just drive and drive and drive...

It's here!!! Well that's kind of relative since it's actually thousands of miles from me but it's home and I will be soon! Got my first picture today! My dad sent me one from his phone but my mom's a photog so I should be receiving some better pictures later.

I feel your pain! My MINI will probably arrive a couple weeks before I move back to Massachusetts. It'll be there waiting and I'll be 3100 miles away.

Ouch! You guys are made of better stuff than, I. I'd go insane! It's bad enough knowing my car is sitting in a lot in Southampton _right now_ and I cannot have it yet.

I'll be happy to send pictures! I've been going through all my songs and have picked what I want on my playlist. This morning I will just stick them into a playlist. The first song: It's a ragtop day by Jimmy Buffett!

Don't really have a choice :P I just let the days all blend together, working 12/7 kinda does that. I've been here since the beginning of Jan but it doesn't feel like 4months.
