Mine is also waiting to get on a cargo ship. From what I hear it takes about 3 times longer to travel than it does to make it. Mine took about a week in the factory.

Once you're on the boat and departed, it's about eight days to NY... then it stops down in Carolina, I believe, and then on down your way. Not sure though. Probably depends on the carrier. It's worth the wait. :-)

Hello from Covington. welcome. you are going to love your car. As I recall it took forever, once it was waiting for transport. At least that was how it felt - sat on the dock for about 10 DAYS . I was dying. It did finally arrive, about a week or 10 days after BHM said it would. Worth every second of the wait.
