I was wondering the same thing. When our cars get to port (Audi) they get released to the trucking companies within a few days, unless we specifically put in a request to hold them there.

While I am not a first 86, I did go down to my local Scion dealer in Louisville, KY the day after the price was announced and told them I wanted the Whiteout Manual they had coming. Maybe this one is mine??? I'll keep my fingers crossed as she said she may be getting it earlier than expected.

Nope, there's a First 86 in KY somewhere. She told me where, I just forgot

Good question. I'll give her a call back tomorrow and ask. She did mention it'll take about 2 weeks by truck to get here, so I'm not sure where the other two weeks go. Maybe it gets here early?

She said that right now all they had was the base radio, bumper appliqué, an ashtray, and floor mats. Most of the others should be out in June she said.

Exciting stuff. Hard to believe we are almost at a point where I will be able to walk into any Scion dealership and test drive a FRS. Only a couple more months to go.

Its not me!!!! UGH SO WISH IT WAS THOUGH btw im from KY

Good news they may be in country, particularly since my DD gave up the ghost on the trip back from the 1st86 Long Beach trip (cars know, they always know)

Floor mats are standard issue so that eliminates two of the three options you listed.

So if yours is at the port. Mine must definately be at the port in long beach!

It's at the port but you have to wait a month? What do the cars have to go through quarantine? LOL

Not necessarily, JHollis did mention they shipped the east coast port ones first because they have to go around South America (too big to go through the canal I guess). In any case, I'm guessing if its nots sitting there, its close!

Still surprised we haven't heard anything yet about going in to sign the final price, and select options (OK, accessories) even if they are going to have to be installed later. I really expected that to happen while the cars were on the Love Boat over.

kinda, there is an inspection they have to go threw, then they are loaded up and shipped out, Well im pretty sure thats true

Edit: Scratch that just looked it up I was wrong
