Clearly the car is in or around Chicago right now, so it should be here before 5/29. I think that's a safe bet.

I'm not sure how they package the cars onto the trucks. I'm sure they don't fill one truck with 8 BRZ's for 8 different dealerships.. that would be a poor spend from a logistics standpoint. Rather, they probably try to keep a single truck to one or two dealerships that are close to each other. That would make the most sense from a cost standpoint.

I used to sell Toyota's, and most often the trucks would have 3-5 different car models for our dealership. Typically there would be 2-4 spots open on the truck because it had already dropped off a few cars at another local dealership.

So, with that in mind.. if you are buying your car in MI, I would say my car is not on the same truck as yours. But, I don't see why our delivery would be more than a day or two different.
I do hope we get our cars here before the 29th in Chicago. But as of right now the only info. I got was from SOA via email telling me its on a train I don't know if it has arrived in Chicago or not. I need to look into these rail heads see what info I can find about our cars
