The changing DDE

Now that I getting close to my dde date it keeps moving up!!! just annoying evey day I check it thinking I am one day closer but nope it moves up just annoying to be so close and it keeps moving away. Extremely annoying (like holding a carrot in front of a horses mouth and never letting him get it) wanted to see if others have seen this! My dates go as follows:
8/24/2008 to 11/22/2008
8/22/2008 to 11/20/2008
8/20/2008 to 11/18/2008
8/19/2008 to 11/17/2008
8/18/2008 to 11/16/2008
8/17/2008 to 11/15/2008
8/16/2008 to 11/14/2008
8/25/2008 to 11/23/2008
9/16/2008 to 12/14/2008 First actual date!

Good for you. A lot of us have felt your pain (I'm feeling it too ). Check it out - over 600+ posts and 60+ pages of people in the same boat as you. If you haven't run across the thread yet it'll help you decipher the DDE even more. I find post #578 from parnami especially helpful as it describes my situation at the moment to a "T". Anyway, the thread I'm talking about - Delivery Date Estimator Thread

My has moved up one day at a time since 8/4/08 and it froze today at a DDE of 9/11/08 to 12/10/08.
Maybe it has been shiped or built today. It's all guess work unless the dealer can verify at what stage things are.

Mine is 9/6 and I think that is the original date I recieved with days. At least it has not moved in the last few days. Time is getting close now.

Looks like we may be on the same boat, my dealer E-Mailed me on 8/28/08 that the car has been built and ETA of September 24.
My DDE stuck to 9/11/08 to 12/10/08 since 8/25/08
So I think the DDE may backtrack to 8/24/08 assuming I do get the car on 9/24
