Not too mention Spring Break is right around the corner (3-13/3-17) and I want my car by then. Taking son to G-mas, 3hr trip and I want the car for it. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
[/b][/quote]I am going to bet that you'll have your car by Spring Break. I also think Tom will have his by then.

I'm also a member of a Toyota Tacoma Forum (TTORA) and use the same ID name; makes more sense there. Now, I pretty much use it wherever I sign up!

Same with my daughter... McDonald's is definitely #1, though.

In fact, now I think I'll go to Taco Bell on the way to work...

The ERL said this morning:

"As of 2/25/06, your vehicle has shipped via convoy with an ETA of week 3/12/06."

Call your dealer and ask him/her to get you the railcar number. That way you don't have to talk to that dreaded Analyst. (Why isn't there an icon for the analyst?)

WOOT !! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] Looks like someone stole my railcar number from Kzinti [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
Got back from lunch, checked the UPRR site and got great news!
Looks like the start of next week for me [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

I posted these over at BOF. Some of you may have seen them. I did not retouch to add the "sparkles". I guess my camera did that. Isn't it neat?






I have the second one as my desktop at work. Until I have time to put up a gallery here, you can visit all the pics (and even get a glimpse or two of me, Chris and Katie) at http://photobucket.com/albums/c324/sgwilson/Mustang/
(let me know if the link doesn't work for you)

[/b][/quote]Thanks. I think I'll keep 'em. It was cool and rainy that day, so I was dressed warmly. And I haven't had a camera since that day. Is that a good enough excuse?

Fun stuff! I wonder if you have any more room in your backseats than I do?

(I bet I have more headroom [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] )

I don't think I have anymore room in the backseats than yours, should be the same. Except for the rear sloping roof line; my sis-in-law who's 5'4", hits her hear on the headliner. So, anyone taller than that can expect some lumps when going over speed bumps!

And I'm 100 percent positive you have more headroom than me, especially with the top down. I rented a Sebring vert for a week the last time I went to Hawaii, it was cool! I put the top down every chance I got, light tropical rain or sun! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

btw- nice family picture! I can see all three of you cruzin' the lake with the top down. Hopefully, Katie won't get blown away too bad at highway speeds sitting in the back. The Sebring went from a comfortable light breeze in the front seats to a Cat 5 tornado in the rear! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img]

It is a 'light to med' black. It looks pretty light in one of my pics (backseat one, right?) because the sun was blazing down thru the back window at the time I snapped the pic. Once I tint the windows, it'll be dark again.

Got a railcar #... ETTX 801159

Still is only saying "released from industry on 2/27"

How often does it update again?
