nice I see her also. She may get to port early.... that would be cool. But still a week maybe at the VDC (i forgot about that)

Alright Altoid start packing your stuff up, drink black coffee to sober up and look your best for the grand unveiling in NYC

i went back to show my brother where it was.... and I can't find it anymore, apparently it sank. It hit an iceburg in the middle of the Hudson and my car is now being pulled out by some cheap homewrecker.

DAMN IT, 12 more weeks and my new car will be here

what the heck??? you saw her on there?? I dont see her now. In that pic you posted, she is facing AWAY from port. Son of A! she probably isnt allowed in yet or something.. so she is hanging out off the coast.

Man, i KNEW it. my calculations had her getting here around 9pm.. then she wont dock? grrrrr

yeah, you have to wait for a tug to be brought in... they may not be at work until 5 am or something....

I remember reading on one of the other threads that they cant pull to a dock until 8am b/c the union workers charge over time if they have to be in early or something crazy like that.

I am assuming the opposite. I keep checking the port schedule.. no patriot.. i did the search by name and still shows EST arrival of 5pm. If it was there, it would have an entry under ACTual arrival..

Keep checking WW and doesnt show my car offloaded... boo.. ill be the pessimist..

Now it is all in the hands of your MA. On wednesday I will email my MA to check STATUS. He/She has an internal system to check it.

It gives ETA for departure...stuff like that.


chap, your MINI get off the boat yet?

Do you guys really think she unloaded already. By my last check she is out of the port, buy www.firstnynj.com is still showing no actual time. I think she is getting jerked around at the port and has not unloaded yet.

Sweet! I couldn't get that involved in checking progress because I was at work.

If you are not getting anything done to the car, how long does it usually sit at the VDC?
