My car got to the dealership before the status was updated. I think that's fairly common. Once it got to the VDC I didn't have any idea when it would get to the dealer until my MA called me.

Well, my CM got to the dealership on Saturday, 15 minutes before the dealership was closing. So he's been sitting there all weekend. Looks like I should be able to pick him up tomorrow, Monday, March 28! It sat in Brunswick for a week!

@atlchica did you get yours?

No, mine was supposed to show up at the dealer on Friday but didn't. I haven't gotten qa call that it arrived yet, so I'm calling first thing this morning to see what is the problem. I'm angry.

Think calming thoughts. Surf blue ocean waves with white caps breaking on the shore. It will all be OK.

P.S. - The only thing I've ever had delivered on time was my oldest dog's puppies. She ran like clockwork.

My MA sent me some photos of my Countryman. I'm looking forward to meeting her tonight! Unfortunately, it is pouring rain and stormy here today, so I won't be able to get pretty photos for a few days.

I called my insurance company today to add my new countryman to the policy, and the agent got all giddy, telling me that mine was the first 4-door MINI she has added. We spent 5 minutes just talking about how roomy it was and such.

Darn, they don't work for me either. :( I'll have to play around with uploading later. Smurfette (my car's name...it just fits) looks even more beautiful in person, btw.
