Hi Efromme. I believe most dealerships need several hours, or a day, depending on their efficiency. Dealer needs to take care of things like plate mounts, final preparation (removal of plastic), cleaning/detailing, gassing up, paperwork prep, and most likely some other odds and ends.

I haven't heard anything from my CA in awhile. How about you?

EFromme · 12-14-2007, 10:24 AM

Nope, not a peep. Its driving me crazy!! You?

Me? What? Nah, I sometimes even forget that I ordered a new car!

EFromme · 12-14-2007, 10:37 AM

Is there any way to know if the cars have left the VPC? CA not calling me back!!

MorpheIS · 12-14-2007, 10:45 AM

My CA is supposed to call me once he is notified that the cars have left the VPC. Unfortunately, this is the informational black hole period where we can't track crap with the OC, 800 #, etc. But hang in there! It's the last stage!

Hopefully, the weather holds up for our deliveries. I'm assuming the oem tires are summer RFTs? Not sure I want to be driving back to NJ from NY in 5 inches of snow with summer slicks on!

EFromme · 12-14-2007, 11:06 AM

Yeah...the weather is kinda a bummer. Although it looks like its coming over the weekend so our probable wednesday or thursday deliveries should still be ok.

slant83 · 12-14-2007, 11:59 AM

80 degrees here and no potholes...perfect for RFT's

Be careful on RFT summer tires in the snow

cipher5 · 12-14-2007, 12:02 PM

My new winter tires are itching to go on the 335 that still isn't here yet. The wait is killing me

It doesn't help all my coworkers, Execs that I work with (CEO and his direct reports), and friends that keep asking when its coming.

slant83 · 12-14-2007, 01:17 PM

You'll get the last laugh when it's here, huh?

I just want to get that smile back, the ear to ear smile, the one I get when I press the start button, hear the roar of the engine come alive, press the pedal and the 306HP/300ft lb torque gets unleashed on the pavement.

Cipher... I'm sorry. But, I believe that smile belongs to me.

cipher5 · 12-14-2007, 04:37 PM

I won't bug my CA till Monday.

MorpheIS · 12-14-2007, 05:05 PM

Have a great weekend all!

About to head out to my wife's company's Christmas party. Fortunately, the open bar includes top-shelf scotch.

What car? We're sporting around this weekend in my wife's Honda Accord.

It doesn't get any better than that!

cipher5 · 12-15-2007, 01:17 AM

Here's to hoping the weekend goes by quickly.
