I would assume your BRZ is on a ship.

They didn't say a date along with the "scheduled" status, but I am hoping you are right this.

Blarg, I don't even have a VON to reference. Stupid, stupid New England distributor! I placed my order March 4th.

Well, if it makes you feel better I placed mine on March 1st at 9am and I still don't have any date in stone yet. Yours probably isn't too far behind. :happy0180:

I called again today for the hell of it and although still no VIN the SOA rep confirmed 3 boats are coming in before the end of the month.

He wouldn't give you the name of the 3 ships? He afraid you're going to hire some pirates? :P

my 5/29 date that got bumped to 5/15 is back to 5/29. So we'll see when it actually shows.

It's "completed" as of Saturday. I would assume it's being loaded onto a train soon if it isn't already.

It's both cool and frustrating that my car is here, in this country somewhere. There's a lot or a train car somewhere with a black Subaru BRZ Limited 6mt with the auto dim mirror sitting there and my name written on the sticker in the window.

I just have to wait. Patiently. For it to get here..

None of this:

There's your problem. More port-installed options = more wait. My dealer told me last Thursday that mine is loaded on rail freight. Hope it gets to Chicago this week.

I'm not in Chicago. Final rail stop is in Chicago, from where it's a day on a truck. As of thursday ETA was back to 5/29 and didn't bother asking since. It arrives when it arrives. When it's at the railhead the dealer will let me know.
