OK GET THIS!!, My car was built 6/6/05 and shipped the same day via convoy carrier according to the ERL. I was on the phone earlier this morning with my salesman trying to make sure I had everything in order because I am leaving town for a week and was going to be home one day, June 18th, before leaving town again which was the same ETA day my dealer gave me for my car and I had hoped to pick it up that day. Anyway it wasn't but a few hours later and my salesman called back, I though maybe there was a problem, but it turns out MY CAR SHOWED UP ON THE TRUCK TODAY!!!! :dance:
I was like you have to be joking but thank goodness he wasn't. That's THREE DAYS, from ship to arrival, now if anyone has gotten it quicker than that I want to know. I plan on going to pick the car up Saturday morning so I will hopefully have some pics to post after that, assuming I ever leave my car.

Mine was built May 14 and shipped the same day. Arrived May 23. Not three days, but the dealer had told me June 4 - not bad!

Enjoy the ride...

Yeah I know I need some pics, heck, I just need to see it with my own eyes first. See the dealer I ordered it off of is a couple hours North, otherwise I would have run down just to see my baby anyway. Like I said though, after taking care of insurance and loan stuff today, I will be going earlier tomorrow morning to go and pick it up and the one thing I do have ready.....is my digitial camera, so there will be pics tomorrow assuming all goes well today.

That's awesome, congrats. I got mine in 4 days, would have been 3 but the truck broke down! No biggy, especially since some people had wait weeks!

Well after numerous phone calls today I believe everything is in order for me to pick up my new baby tomorrow early morning. I plan on being at the front door when the dealer opens. And like I stated before, I've got my camera ready to roll and I will post pics as soon as I get home, of course when I actually decide to stop driving and get home could be another story .
