Can't wait for my car to come in. I ordered about 2 weeks ago. How long do you guys think the wait is running nowadays? I hear some people are getting them around a month after ordering.

I ordered one Sunday for a Customer, it's here today. I'm trying to get the reputation for the fastest turn around time.

Wow, that is very fast. Any insight you can give me on how it works from the inside? I emailed my sales guy and he said they ordered it, but no other updates as of yet. Man I can't wait!

With Scion there is a once a month allocation. The last day of the prior month, a sales manager goes and submits requests for what he needs. His number 1 requests should be anything that he has ordered. They also have to send an email to their Scion rep saying what they have ordered. The Scion rep then cross references to make sure they are requesting what they have ordered.

I actaully had a black one come in that was not presold, therefore I traded it for the Red Automatic I needed. I ordered a Blue one two weeks ago, should have word on it by Tuesday as for an ETA because it is my number 1 request for this month. Should be here before the end of next month.

Cool that is good insight into the process. Would you say expecting it sometime in September is reasonable?

Jealous. I drive about 35k miles a year and running without a front plate is just asking for trouble. Thats also why I run legal tint.

Oh btw Im Morgan and Im a SysAdmin :wave:

35k?? Your warranty won't last long!

[kanundrum]

My Daily driver got totaled so now I wil be driving the FRS in a few weeks full time once the rental runs out.

A lot to think about once your life kinda flashes before your eyes. Not sure if I should keep the FRS or not sucks.

They never do

But the dealer I got it from has a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain, but I like to mod anyway, so its bound to be voided

2008 turbox fully modified. Someone hit me on NJ turnpike And screwed me over with Injuries.

[civicdrivr]

What a shame. Those Turbo X's are cool cars.

Did you get hurt? Who was found to be at fault?

Oh maaaaan. That's awful!

What happened? You doing better?

Sad to see this. You definitely had one of the coolest TurboXs if not 9-3s.

[kanundrum]

Yes walked away so that's good. basically someone did pit maneuver on me and sent me flying into concrete wall. I countered enough not to 180 so it was better then going into traffic.

They are super at fault lol. Walked away but got nerve damage and other things I have to go to therapy for but again walked away

[civicdrivr]

Nerve damage sucks. My mom was in a car accident back in 2000 and damaged nerves in her left arm + damaged her spine. Shes still dealing with the pain.
