Car just Hit Customs

Woot, only a matter of time now. Dealer called me an hour ago to let me know that they were off loading my car. And then it hits the customs which I hear is a few days. Then on a truck to Texas. Oh, and it is not like most of the other dealers. Truck will be fully loaded like normal when it runs to Round Rock. They can't keep any car in stock that shows up.

So on Jan 13th, my 11 month wait will be over.

sounds like my car is on the same boat as yours. My ETA is 1/13 also. I waited 18 mos for this. You were lucky waiting such a short time. Good luck and happy motoring.

No clue. Just was told it was there at customs. Checked my date and DDE now says Dec 10 in stead of Dec 13. So, being that I had a date of Jan 13th, I am guessing that I might see it next saturday, less then 8 days now.

'Raccoon got my car' sounds like it stole your Smart.


When I read 'Smart hit customs', I wondered if it was a 'hit and run' and whether or not Customs will report it to the police.
