The car is so much fun to drive... definitely worth the wait. I'm going to the dealer today to buy some accessories (i.e. cargo cover, sunglasses holder, etc.)!!
Cheers,
Carlos

I just knew it was delayed by the snow that fell that week. I've got about 500 miles on it (two weeks). The holidays got in my way. I'm driving it easy. We got the upgraded sound system, and we're loving it.

At 11:40pm on December 20, 2008, Kate Woody said…: Today (the 20th) I got the call. I had Christmas Parties so I couldn't just run over to get it, and they're closed on Sundays. So, Monday morning at 11 a.m. I'll be picking it up. I've been so worried because it hadn't arrived, and I just knew it was on the same boat as yours was. Now I can relax!

At 12:30am on December 16, 2008, Kate Woody said…: I'd read your "list", and I thought it was wonderful. I'm still waiting, but I (and 8 others) did get an e-mail stating our cars would be in within two weeks. I can't imagine it not being in this week. Good grief! Just how far is it from Long Beach? We have two inches of snow! And my smart is missing it!

The dealers will negotiate interest rates, don't be afraid to ask. Yeah I got rid of my Goldwing out here. Seems everyday on the news another car/bike crash.

At 12:30am on December 11, 2008, Craig S. said…: Thanks Jim. Mine's been changing so much I don't think anything would surprise me at this point. Do they give you right up to the day of pickup to work out the financing or does it have to be in place a head of time?
Usually I do check the mirrors when stopping at a light but this was total stop and go traffic and after I merged over I waved at the car behind me (not the one that hit me) pulled up and stopped in the line of cars and then before I looked up again Wham!! Really the reason I sold my bike after moving here because I felt that no matter how careful I was the risk was too great. Of course I do get goosebumps every time I hear a bike run through the gears :)
have a good evening, Craig.
