The last seven of our VIN #'s are only 2 digits off, and mine is still at VDC with no EDD like V said, this delivery system is pretty messed up. My car missed your boat literally by hours, and was probably loaded first--thus last off at port. This wait is really beginning to suck.
Motor on. PM me on how it's going. When I get mine we'll have to get together for a pic session: CR/W and CR/B--both striped--together. Should look killer. :smile: Jimbo

I would guess most of the Ho-Jin's will be arriving at dealers this week. Yesterday my broker said it should arrive Fri/Sat, then we were talking this morning and this afternoon I got a "You'll never believe this but the dealership called and yours just got off the truck there."
I probably got super lucky and got done right as a truck was leaving for the north bay. Plus, most of CA is within a few hour haul from Oxnard so there is a chance that a CA car can finish at the VDC and get to the dealership same day.
BTW my OL JUST updated this afternoon after I got the call about the car beign at the dealer and it says "at VDC" and a EDD of 9/25. This morning it was still En Route so if the OL doesn't update I wouldn't worry since for my car it is a day behind.

Well rest assured if there was major damage that they have to contact your MA, who then has to contact you. I think it's over 3%. However, I think that since the issue with missing heater delivery components (a major factory f up) that perhaps all the VDC's are thoroughly QC'ing cars that received cursory checks at Cowley. And if they found some major problem(s), then they're (rightly) fixing them at VDC so as to lessen dealer and post-delivery liabilities. I guess.
But again, I speculate. Stop me before I speculate again! Grrrr. Jimbo

Sequence - Did you think I'm in Denver? I'm just North of San Francisco... but I ordered my car from Sacramento. Don't be too freaked out - I have also read about allot of people who have no idea when the car will be in, then call the dealer, and it's there! Where is Great American Wilderness?:smile:
