Bummer
Mine is stuck in NY! My MA said it will be released on the 14th ... now I'm hoping for the 7th like you've heard!

Sorry, I'd be in with you but my baby is waiting too far away in NY. Have one for me and good luck with your mission!

Not a Ninja, but I think I know the perfect person to lead your raid... who else has worked as a Samurai, a Pirate, and a US Navy fighter pilot?

my MA called today and said the car should be at the dealership by Monday!! does anyone know how long it usually takes to have your bonnet stripes/checkerboard mirror installed? do you have to go "buy" your car and then tell them you want those and then they will take a couple of days to insall it? how does that work?

I know! I don't know how my best friend drives that everyday! lol I guess I'm blessed at our age... But shes in college and I work my butt off lol

Dutchess was offloaded and I guess the VDC is working overtime to get cars processed so people have been saying their MA's are saying arrival to dealers on Monday or Tuesday, hopefully that is the same for me!!!!!! I would love to pick up my car on Saturday!!!!

Sorry to hear about the kia. You're okay, and that's most of what matters.
Thanks!!!

It is good that I didnt cause an accident, but it was humiliating!

Once your car gets here they process it and anything you ordered (stripes, mirror stuff, etc) gets installed right away before you take delivery. If you havent told them you want it you probably should call them ASAP so they can arrange it. Then once your car is complete they schedule the pick-up time with you and then you do your financing once they do the "un-veil" (sp?). Hope that helps!

Blueberry beer??
Yes, got it at a local supermarket, real bits of fruit, made for people who like sweeeeeeeeet drinks. Very caloric, I think like 5 WW points or something.
Trashman took the bottles away, but Google or you local distributorship will tell where it is...

Glad to hear that your MINI is on the way ! Gotta wait till Monday for mine, although the wife may drag me up there to take a pic

One down, one to go, Starry!

BTW, since we are now over 2500 posts in this thread, I have added a new tag line to my signature. This historic NAM event needs to be immortalized!
