I actually believe that the decades of "hurry up and wait"------ "training", is what has me so frustrated with this excercise.

We do not eat cafeteria style any more. Period! Wife and I frequently turn around and leave a store with 10~20 registers, long check out lines, and only 2 or 3 registers open....

Well I haven't had to hurry about anything here.....just wait. Nothing has changed over all. They said in Aug when I signed up that cars will be arriving in Jan. Guess what, cars will be arriving in Jan. No problems, no lies so far, just waiting ....till Jan. Not so complicated is it? Only, come January I still have to wait 6-8 months to get my car...but then I new that too. Hmmmm No surprises....just patience needed. I have that.

Yes...retired USAF

US Navy 81-86

I'll have the trophy for being most patient. I most likely won't see MY car for another 2-3 years.
I've only been waiting since about 2001...

Never Again Volunteer Yourself

Actually, I'd do it all over again, and I did "volunteer" myself with smart by accepting the Parts Manager position at my dealership. So apparently I like getting myself into the unknowns.
