It finally ( wasn't too bad) arrived today at VanBortel, Paul just phoned me up today with the great news. My ETA was for July 5th. Not bad. I'll post a few pics on a different thread.
Congrats Jerry and Jason, yours are closer than mine. I will be driving there on Friday. 7 hour drive in a rental and drive back with the car. I'll take pics.

Offsite as of 6/20. Guy at AAI says he THINKS mine MAY ship next week...claims it's awaiting shipping and not offsite, but I think he tells that to everyone.

hahahahaha, dude I'm sorry but this cracks me up. I know how it feels man, remember yours was built inside of this month so things aren't so bad. Not to downplay the suck of the wait but just think about how it was for us.

I placed my first order back in early April, so this still feels like a really long time. Plus I've seen a few vehicle visibility histories from others who had 6/3 build dates. Their car left right after "produced". What the hell is wrong with my car that would be sent offsite three times? Will it be an infamous SCRAPPED car? They already knew of all the bugs/problems by 6/3.
My girl is away at the moment so all I'm really doing to pass the time is drowning myself in video games and music piracy.
If it's not shipped by July 2 I might cancel and wait for yellow blaze and 19" inch machined wheels, both options I want.

Yep, they're still plenty of us waiting. Mine wasn't built until May 14th, a mere 5+ weeks in limbo. It was ordered on Feb 10th. This prioritizing by ORDER DATE hasn't seemed to pan out to me.

I wonder if you'd have kept your first order if it would be on the way right now.
And just an FYI on the offsite. If it goes to vehicle personalization and they're "full", it will come back and park until its turn. Then it goes back to personalization (stripes mostly) and then returns to the parking lot for shipping. At least that's my understanding from a well-informed and respected source. I'm thinking the glass roof might be part of this vehicle personalization.

Thanks for the info. So perhaps they keep retrying to add my glass roof?
The thing is, Montreal Ponies had a glass roof and I saw his entire vehicle visibility history. Not once did it go offsite. I do know for a fact the glass roof is done at the VPC, but the question is why didn't Montreal's stang go "offsite"?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but did you look at my vehicle visibility history? Bouncing between offsite and returned to plant 5x times over a two week period does not inspire hope. I am happy when people get their cars, but a little more of me dies inside and makes me want to cancel to say FU to Ford. My **** coupon is going to expire, I won't have my car for the 4th of July weekend (which I was assured by my dealer would happen with a June-03 build), and my friends and coworkers are convinced I'm making up even buying a car (they've been asking since April).
As for the people who had placed their orders before April, I don't know how you've lasted this long. You car's been exposed to the elements and dirty for what, 3 months+ now? This is literally the biggest purchase I've made of my life (not to mention my first gamble with a non-import car) and it's becoming extremely unpleasant. I'm definitely going to remember this next time/if I want another Ford.
I've been relatively cool up until now. But the anger that CS put me through by saying my car was "in transit to you and will probably arrive by the ETA" then to discover on my ETA day it was still in Michigan makes me want to go postal. What kind of nimrod accidentally puts in the system "SHIPPED CONVOY - IN TRANSIT" when the car is just being dicked around the plant and offsite?
Yeah I'm *****ing a lot today. The endless "my car is here" threads are wearing me down.

This doesn't make it any better but from what I understand the Fiesta buyers are getting screwed even worse. Lots of marketing/promotions being sent out on those cars and they have to ship from MEXICO, go through customs, etc. Everyone is losing their incentives on those cars.

I just worry that after they get done joy riding all around Michigan in jokers car mine will be next! lol
I will call CS again later to day see if they updated my ETA since it has pasted with no end in site.

Mine is finally on it's way as per vehicle visibility
Status: VIN 1ZVBP8CF6B5115885

Ramp 51: May 9
ENG AMEND: June 5
ENG AMEND:June 12
Awaiting Shipment: Ramp 5P June 19

Can anyone decode these ENG AMEND's, which I think stands for Engineering Amendment
I have 2, which I gather is why the car was on hold???
1.) SA-9270 ENG AMEND - Order Scheduling Composite - F0F0B5SA- June 5th
2.) SA-9270 ENG AMEND - WMI Pos 1-2 (VO 100-101) - 1Z - F0F0B5SA - June 12
My dealer told me the GT's were being released again June 20th, guess he was right
