Use http://www.marinetraffic.com/
when the vessel is near a port (I would create an account so you can save the vessel)

and

http://www.sailwx.info/
when the vessel is out of range from the AIS stations. (e.g. whilst in the deep Atlantic)

Be warned... Once your vessel sets sail, it will become a habitual process.

hahahaha!

It has been since day one! Can't believe it takes so long to go transatlantic! I mean I know the waters are not like what they are a few miles off the coast and are probably rough & choppy as hell so they gotta go slow but still

I really hope not, I have black kidney grilles & M-Perf Exhaust to be installed now. This shouldn't take no longer than 2 hours if they take their sweet time. I'm originally scheduled to pick up my car at the dealer next Monday. Wouldn't mind it sometime this week though

I'm looking at the status on my car via the W&W website, last 2 things are "Customs Release" and then this morning about 30 mins ago says "Liner Release." Anyone know what both mean?

Rep on the 800 # said that the car hit VPC this morning and since it just got there she couldn't provide an ETA for arrival at the dealership.

I just called the 800# and the automated system still says I'm at the port awaiting a shipping vessel LOLLLL

Got a hold of a human rep, received by the VPC and estimated date on a truck is 6/25 and delivered to dealership 6/26.

I just called an hour ago, they said it was scheduled as being on a truck today and delivered to the dealership tomorrow 6/26. Hopefully this is still the plan.
