I don't think the ETA on the tracking site is accurate.. There must be other stops en-route to make it take that long.. Maybe Vancouver, WA is one of the stops?


you guys are so obsessed that we are calculating shipping speeds and time.. lol only 1 more month to save your money!!!!

I like doing stuff like this, I have fun with ARGs when they come out and are particularly interesting. And I'm more staked in this, instead of "find out some more details about this game or movie" it's "where's my damn car"

We can go deeper. He didn't specify nautical miles or statute miles. And we don't have anybody flying a helicopter over the ship taking photos yet.

Yet.

I was going to go down the list as though each one of those dudes was someone here on the forum... but then I realized he actually had a rocket launcher, and I decided against it.

Keep in mind though, it's not as if they can navigate in a straight line!

Which brings me to crew pictures!

If you track the Cetus Leader and look at where it just left it looks like there are a shit ton of cars there. Satellite maps from 2012.

Maybe nothing but maybe worth a few minutes of one of our sleuths time. :P

Wasn't there a possible boat that left the 18th? That's a week ago, which would make for a late may delivery....

It's destination is PDX 5-7, so it looks like it is heading to the West Coast, but Bing maps shows the location it departed from as "Toyota Motor Tahara Factory" so it seems like it is probably carrying Toyotas. I think the FRS/BRZ would ship from a Subaru port.

Quote:
Tahara plant (Japanese: 田原工場) is an automobile plant in Tahara, Aichi, Japan owned by Toyota Motor Corporation. It is a highly computerized and robotized plant and produces the Lexus brand of vehicles including the Lexus LS, Lexus LS Hybrid, Lexus GS, Lexus IS, Lexus GX, and Lexus LX models.[1] Several Toyota vehicles are assembled there as well such as the RAV4 and 4Runner.[2]

This USAtoday article indicates that BRZs will start arriving at west coast dealers Before the end of the month. Of course they don't list their source so who knows.

Quote:
Subaru expects its West Coast dealers to start getting cars this month, and forecasts that all dealers will have them by late next month. Scion says the FR-S won't be on sale until June.
Scion FR-S sports coupe cheaper, Subaru BRZ arrives sooner
