Today's Surprise

It was a good one.

I've known that I've had a Q1 build, but I have been without a VIN or a production week.

I called today to get an update from my salesman. He says that he was about to call me, and he has unexpected news. My car was being unloaded off the trailer as I spoke to him!

From the Window Sticker, it was produced March 2nd, and arrived in Omaha, NE today. Perhaps that info will help those of you who are estimating time of arrival for your cars.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures of it. The car is in Omaha, and I'm in South Carolina. Delivery will have to wait until this weekend, and plenty of pictures will soon follow.

Don't let them drill holes in your front bumper! That is a lot of time for it to sit there and for them to decide to do it.

I told the salesman I wanted to keep the front bumper clean several months back. When I happened to call, they were about to send it to the clean up guys after taking it off the truck. I was glad I called when I did, because I think the salesman may have forgotten about that request. However, he did run outside during our call to make sure that they left the bumper clean.

It's on the showroom floor now, so I'm hoping that will prevent any other opportunities to mess up the bumper.

Yeah, this is what you get for being nice and helping somebody out

In all seriousness though, thanks again for referring me to them. It couldn't have worked out better. Your car should be arriving soon. It may sound crazy, but I sort of missed the opportunity to get a VIN, a window sitcker, then a build date, and then track it's delivery. It's left me scrambling the last couple of days to arrange for financing, insurance and delivery itself. I'm not complaining though

Both of our situations make me laugh. Despite that we live near each other, and we have ordered similar cars, both of us have strange circumstances which prevent us from actually having them in our possession. Mine is delivered, but it's in Nebraska and I'm not able to leave the state. Yours is built, but it is stuck in Michigan.

Hang in there, your shipment is bound to be any day now.

Dan, I hope you're right. But we've been down that road a few times already....VVS had no update this morning either. No change since last Thursday since FCS allegedly put a rush on it.

What a fantastic surprise. Are you going to drive it home? Mine was produced on Feb 18th but decided to hang around Flat Rock for a while.

Wait a couple weeks. I'll be on a track in Omaha and you can break it in there before heading home
