I'm expecting to be in the same boat tomorrow. Expecting a crazy day at work, and may have to push to Sat am. :-(

I made it out for my pilgrimage! I was in and out in about 55 minutes. It was really very easy. Tire/wheel warranty was $500 for 36 mos term (declined - crosses fingers). Got mats, a hat and a couple of key chains. Car looks great! Picked it up with 10 miles on it -- and a recent average speed of 8.6 mph

Now I just need to remember to stay south of 4500 for a while and then the real fun can start! Photos to follow -- perhaps this weekend.

Good luck everybody! The wait is so worth it!

Guys, I am in LOVE! It's everything I hoped it would be and I've barely even taken it past 4k RPM! As promised, here's some pics I snapped at the dealership:

Haha thanks, actually it was a used Porsche! The other new car delivery room was empty, Bill apologized about not putting it in there, he ended up getting tied up with a customer. Unfortunately the parts department closed before he could get me my iPod cable, so I'm swinging by at lunch to go pick it up and visit my poor Celica which is stranded there!

Yes, I had to ask him for the cable, but he seemed to know all about it already as well as the Finance Manager. They both said it was at the Parts department and that there was no charge. I'll confirm around 12PM when I go pick it up today.

Nice photos! She's a beaut.

My CA told the business manager, who was impressed with my story about tracking the car. On my blackberry, I showed him the last report w/ the Liberty off the coast of Long Island.

I think I'm up to about 25 total miles after the commute in this a.m. -- and I already can't wait to take the tach above 4500. It's sooooooo hard!

Good luck to gosox -- may your day be easier than your thought!

They did an excellent job cleaning the car, it looked immaculate. No swirls...

Got the iPod cable, everything works great! Can't wait to get out of here!

The wait will be worth it either way! Like Mark Sans said, it's very difficult keeping it under 4500RPM considering how much of the powerband is still left! It pretty much makes 1st gear useless...

So the 800# says "car is at port awaiting shipping vessel." Does this mean a shipping vessel to VPC or that it already went through VPC and is awaiting a vessel to the dealership?

I had to work all weekend, so the car is only up to 63 miles! At this rate, it will be broken in by some time in August. I still don't even have my seat set to the perfect place!

The 800# said that for several of us when the car was at the VPC, so it seems that at this point, the 800# is not the best source of information. If you have your VIN, you can use it on the shipping company website to see whether your car was on the boat and discharged. After it is discharged, the Owner's Circle website will have accurate -- but two day old -- information. At this point, your CA is your best resource. Good luck!
