All aboard the Courage (whoo whoo)

I just found out my new baby is booked for the Courage, scheduled for departure on Saturday. I figure it'd be nice for all of the traveling buddies to be introduced to each other before the cruise. Mine is destined for the sunny town of Charleston, SC. Baxter knows where to find good scenery.

I can't wait for it to arrive, even though I'll be in China when it gets here. My girlfriend is taking delivery for me. (There is a huge amount of trust in my relationship.)

Anybody else booked for the Courage?

/me raises his hand.

Taking delivery in Detroit.

Glad to finally see some progress as it was done with production on 8/2 and been waiting for transport since.

I'm also booked on the Courage. Taking delivery in Detroit and can't wait to get her on the road!! It's been a little over a month since I ordered, and it seems like its been forever.

You guys are lucky. I was built on Friday but haven't made a ship yet. Everything was moving so fast now reality is setting in!

So anyone else having the problem that the website still shows "Awaiting Transport"? I've checked my VIN against the shipping website and it states that the car is loaded on the vessel. However my dealer just left me a voicemail and said that the car is still in England. Any thoughts?

I'm still showing up as "Awaiting Transport".
But I've been showing up on the WW site as "Loaded on Vessel" for a few days. So I think as long as you been on WW site with that status a few days you are safe.

My car is also on the Courage. The voyage details show it going all the way to GA. Is there a VDC in GA? Is that where they'd offload my car (destined for Texas)?

Courage headed out early this morning for Charleston, SC.
That is my port of destination as indicated on the WW site.

My car was on the Courage... here's hoping it will make it to Texas in a week or so! I sold my car too soon (awesome planning, huh?) and now I'm a shut-in.
