Wow that's tracking.
how did you get all the info while the car was in the production phase? 800 number automated or 800 number human interface? or other source? I guess my car will kind of follow the same path as yours. I guestimated June 10 for me to pick up my car at Passport, MD.

FrankoQ: I think you'd get your car sooner. You car will get off at NY/NJ or Baltimore (depends on voyage), in my particular case, my car rode the boat all the way down to SC as I had orginally ordered it as a PCD but cancelled that mid-voyage.
I actually called the -1800# daily (live rep) as well as bugged my CA about twice a week (he was happy to oblige)... Sometime an estimation/backtrack to match status codes to dates is required. I keep a more detailed timeline but wouldn't want to bore you guys with it.

very entertaining and informative. So how is Ralph so far? how long was the paperwork/demo of the car before you drove it home? I hope I can pick up mine in the morning and then drive it to get the windows tinted.

FrankoQ: Thanks for the kind words...we had a lot of fun tracking the ship. I wish the same for you... Feel free to reference our resources in tracking your ship...
I think I was in and out in under 2 hours...about 30 mins signing the papers.

Thanks guys...I had no life during those 2-3 weeks As I said, we had a lot of fun tracking/waiting for the ship...so much that we got kinda sad as the voyage wound down (imagine that!).
When you start one of your own ship threads, I'll pop by and lend any kind of assistance
