Mostly because I've been spreading a lot of good publisity around facebook and Norwegian forums since I placed the order. Guess it paid off.

considering making a youtube series where I make journal entries day by day waiting and by each day going madder and madder and eventually talking to bananas and driving invisible cars with a shot of me sitting on the bitchumen with my eyes wide open making broom-broom noises turning an invisible steering wheel and a banana peel pirched on top of my head....

Ordered on the 21st of June, was told September build, October delivery.. mine should be being built next month but it has been pushed back to October production, then to November production.. I really hope I get my baby before the end of the year..

I die a little inside every time someone asks me when I am getting my car..

Hehehe its kinda embarrassing. People at my job keep asking me when will I get my car. They probably think I'm lying. hahahah. Last I was told was oct/nov time frame. Only good thing about this is that I have more time to save money prior to financing.

March order. July delivery, pushed out til end of sept delivery.

Yep, over people asking me when I'm getting the car. Have to explain y Toyota dont allocate stock for pre-orders. They look at me confused.
