Were they able to see that on VV? Did they have a railcar number?

You need the railcar number for verification. Where are you located?

Still at Ramp 51.

I still have not seen any Bosses physically leave the plant yet in VV.

Two days in a row of false alarms.

KRAMER STOPS AGAIN, CONFUSED.

ELAINE What?

JERRY Where's the car?

KRAMER I thought it was here.

ELAINE (RE: CAR) There it is!...No that's not it.

KRAMER It's got to be here.

JERRY Maybe it's not on this level.

GEORGE What?

KRAMER (RE: CAR) I found it!

ELAINE He's got it.

KRAMER Oh...no.

JERRY All right, that's it. From now on no more calling out they found it, unless we're sitting in it. Okay?

Guys, check out my post on the other thread:

NEWS:
Just received a call from Ford Customer Service. Long and short of the conversation is this:
1. NO Bosses have shipped.
2. All Bosses and new Explorers are receiving a Quality Inspection. But she said that it was not for an issue on the Bosses, but rather more of a final check for the Bosses due to their limited numbers and high visibility. She also said that the plant said that they are moving much more quickly on inspections now, and that the inspections of the Bosses are occurring on Ramp 5P (where some of our were updated to yesterday).
3. I asked specifically when they would be released for shipment. I asked if it was hours, days, months or years; she said that although the plant would not give her an exact time, she expected on the order of a couple of days.

Talked to her for about 10 minutes. After all this, I expect that our Bosses will be released for shipping in a couple to a few days (barring any problems discovered).

GEORGE I can't take it! There has to be some evil mind behind this. But who?

Bossinator I know you want the car, we all do. But.... there has been 1001 posts by people that have been told by the dealer one thing or another. If any of them were even close to correct we would have the cars.

Sparky has the same info as CS but from the best I can tell he can decipher it way better. I sure they are nice people there but I doubt they have any idea what goes on outside their little cubical where they only field calls all day.

We could all stop this daily stress test and just ask Sparky to tell us when the first Boss ships. I'm sure he'd be ok with that. He's seen enough VIN's to use as a query.

I keep seeing Ramp 51 from you guys, and I'm beginning to think that should be changed to Area 51.....

If anyone wants me to add theirs to the list I check PM me the last 4 in your VIN. I've checked a few but I didn't write down all of them. The ones I check are:

0331
0572
0621
2933

NOTE: I'm not going to do individual tracking but the first railcar I see go out I'll post here.

I'll field PMs on this for a couple hours but I'm going to get some shuteye soon.

I know it's tough. I wad told four to six weeks on my 2011 500. Three and a half months later it was delivered. My best advise try not to think about it. It will get there when it does. It's like watching a clock, it seems to slow down the longer you watch it.
