I know you were.

I've scoped it out on Google Maps. The vehicle drop of port is in Dundalk. But due to where the gates it to the area, we aren't getting anywhere close to the cars. I'd like to get in there and write " Don't drill holes in this car" on the hood wrap.

I'm pretty sure they do that at the dealer as part of delivery prep. In which case, just show up on delivery day and throw yourself on the hood to defend it.

Yeah, they usually do. I've asked my sales manager and salesman twice not to put holes in the car, and I hope they remember to tell the PDI guys.

Baltimore is SoA's East Coast dock, while Rhode Island is SNE's dock. My dealer confirmed they get their cars through Baltimore.

EDIT: Also, Gentle Leader was in Baltimore before it went to Davisville.

Can't wait for the damn thing to arrive!

Grr....

I'm hoping for an update on my car today.

When is your ETA? Mine's 5/31. If it came in dock yesterday, it shouldn't take very long to get to my dealer. My dealer is less than 45 minutes from the port.

NYC BRZ · 05-24-2012, 11:23 AM

How long do these things take to process? I'm wondering how long until my VIN comes.

5/30

I called Subaru today and my car has a release date from the port of 5/25. Seeing as how my dealership is 45 minutes from the port, it might come in earlier than 5/31.

I feel like we must be kindred spirits in this thing - ordered the same car and stuck in the same loop with no information.

I did see your sig has changed, though, I'll give SOA a call and update that thread.

So we think the boat that was in Baltimore had BRZs? Are we currently tracking any other ships headed out of Japan for Maryland? I have lost track of what's what.

Another local dealer to me just got a BRZ delivered to them, so they are being shipped to SDC dealers!!!
