Me either. My build was also completed 3/19; it arrived in NY/NJ 4/1, arrived at dealer 4/13, pickup scheduled for tomorrow, 4/23. Finally! Delays include installation of aero kit at VDC, and flooding out of dealer due to nor'easter.
A number of others from the week 12 thread don't have their cars yet either. Patience. Everyone says the wait is worth it.

funny thing is after all that (installing the aero kit and flooding) you are still getting yours quicker. i calld the MA and he said the truck was "delayed" whatever that means. its not so much that i cant wait, its that i really want to have a day or so to break in the car correctly. now if i get it during the work week, im not going to be able to drive it for 5 or so hours correctly (side streets, varying speed gear). instaed im going to have to pick it up, hop on the freeway home, then hop on the freeway all week to and from work 60 miles round trip. we all know thats no way to break in a car correcly. by next weekend i should have 500 incorreclty broken in (all freeway) miles on my S.

flav - who is your MA, I used Mike at Classic in Mentor and had a 3/21 build date (but no major additions at the VDC), and it arrived at the dealer on 4/16. My problem is the dealer is 4,000 mile from me and I can't pick it up till the 26th. Waiting knowing its at the dealer is making me nuts.

whhhaaaaat!!!! i am also at classic. i had bill. dont get me wrong, im so glad your car came in, but now im starting to get suspicious. why would you have a later build date but your car came in so much quicker. also where did your car endter the country. mine was sent all the way down to s carolina (i have no clue why). it would make more sense for it to enter in NJ or MD. my car got to the port (s carolina) on 4/16. no i have no mods at all that need to be added at the port. i am starting to get concerned. also sounds weird that i was told "the truck was delayed". on miniusa it says my estimated delivery date was 4/21/07.

I feel like a jerk. i walked into the dealership. Two days later i had a car
turns out the salesperson ordered a car for herself but fell in love with a 335 instead.
i KNOW it will be worth the wait. years ago i had to wait 6 months for my subaru RS (the good looking coupe in 99) to arrive. THAT was murder!
*ducks*
