That's awesome. Glinda or Galinda?

Last night I told my wife that I was thinking about getting a vanity plate to my car "elphie1." She laughed and asked me to poll NAM to see what they thought. So does that sound dorky or would you do it???


Then later on last night, she tells me that she may get us tickets to go to Chicago to see Wicked there. She said that its a permanent show there. Then said that we may go to Atlanta in October to see the touring company. The girl that plays Elphaba (Carmen Cusack) is utterly amazing - she was Elphaba in Chicago and decided to go on the road. As you can tell I really enjoyed/loved the show. I actually have the soundtrack and listen to it occassionally (ala a lot!)... Yeah I am a dork!!!

The hidden costs aren't really hidden. Your MA should've asked you if you wanted the paint protection extended service, warranty etc when you placed your order. It shouldn't be a problem when you sign. Just go over the final papers carefully. When I bought my Nissan back in 2001, the dealer did this and I told them that I didn't want their service plan.The redidi the papers and all was good.


Neurosis isn't getting any better though...

I dont think its dorky, I'd love a vanity plate, but they don't allow you to have them in Quebec :( So maybe the desire of having a vanity plate is stronger here because we aren't allowed, but I would definitely pay for one, if they ever did become available here.

I was lucky enough to see Idina perform, and I loved her, I think she was absolutely wonderful. And I listen to the music all the time! haha, so I would guess I'm a dork too then.

So I googled that name and I see it was a character from Dr Strangelove? I haven't seen that flick. Sounds like a good name, though!

I can barely wait! It so nice to say it's days away instead of weeks.

It is from Dr. Strangelove. My favorite film. My wife is not wild about it, the name that is, she would prefer Stanley. But Mandrake is kind of fun, I think anyway. He is a British character after all.

Great news, shipmate! Wish I could get mine on the 21st as well. I'll just have to patiently wait until the 28th. At least for most of the time between now and then I'll be on vacation.

You say you are a couple of hours from Charlotte? Where in Western NC are you?

Just posted in week 22 today, but since I *thought* I was closer to week 21 I'll post here too....

Why doesn't my MA know when mine will be in? She won't know 'til it hits their dealership? Seems like you guys are doing a lot better than me. Can you find out what they're referring to? Mine is looking at the "daily printouts". Maybe your MA knows something mine doesn't?

Anyhow, here's my post:

Talked to my MA today and she told me my ship wasn't scheduled to come in until June 18th! She told me the 12th a while back, and I didn't know that there was a delay until today.

I just checked the "ships" pdf file, and there aren't any ships scheduled for the 18th. And I went back to WW and it isn't tracking my VIN, so that means I'm still a K-line, and there aren't any coming in around the 18th (17th and 19th, but not the 18th).

So my guess is she's just wrong. Unless she's confusing the 18th for the day it leaves Charleston. Could it be sitting in port that long?

Any other theories?

Thanks all!!

Well that seriously sucks scissors!

I'd ask to speak to the sales manager~ that is NOT right. As soon as the car leaves port, it becomes part of the dealer inventory and they have all of the information.

I'd get confirmation on what ship you were on, and then go from there. You had to have been on the Carib Hwy!!!!

OK there's the Patriot due in to Baltimore on the 18th. But that is a WW ship, so you would be able to track that by now.

I think your MA is on crack.
