My baby is coming...

Got a delivery date, Yahoo!!! Stopped by the dealer today and she told me February 27th (give or take a day). Just about nine months to deliver this baby, and this delivery should be easier than my last two.

well congratz. But don't get too excited. I stopped by my dealer yesterday to confirm my due date did move up to the 9th from the 13th. But, here is the kicker. I asked her about the date to see if Sat was good for me to come in. She told me last month customs were being real A holes on doing the cars. Her Nov 15 delivery ended up being 4 weeks late. So, I am hoping they got that sorted out. Heard it was all about paperwork not being correct from the factory. Guess we shall find out. But anyhow, good luck, I thought my 11 months was fast, but 9, that is a record.

It could have been the temporary lack of the infamous EPA sticker. It has been corrected since! Cross my fingers, 'danag'.

I know Feb. 27th is just an approximate date because anything can happen. The dealer said it could be a little delayed as they have had problems with some deliveries being late due to bad weather this winter in ships getting through the Panama Canal. I'm even fine with a March delivery as long as I have an approximate date.

Good chance we might be moving to your neck of the woods by late spring. I hear other than summer you have pretty good weather.
