Doh! Turns out my car was part of the same batch as yours! Got a call from my sales early Saturday morning that car is here (he doesn't work Fridays), but now I can't pick it up until next Saturday since I booked a trip out of town this week. FML.

My dealer at scion downtown told me they had it on their lot and gave me the vin number on friday...not sure how much longer it will be. Fingers crossed.

I sure did man!

Went for a bit of a drive today through High Park then out west to Sherway Gardens to get 'er up to highway speed...then took it easy coming back via The Queensway...real fun and easy to drive...it's tough keeping it under 4k RPMs during break-in though, this car really wants you to give 'er!

Congrats buddy!!! :happy0180:

I hear ya dude.. the break-in is gonna be torture for me because I wanna park it in the winter and bring out my Focus (aka Fofo :P) as the winter driver. I'm thinking I may take a couple road trips to Ottawa/Montreal, or visit my cousin in Baltimore and get it over with in a week and a half or so. I'll make sure I vary the RPMs and speed as I go.. I wonder if that's a good way to go about it.

Yeah I'm thinking about heading up to my property in Merrickville (about an hour south of Ottawa) but will take either the #7 or the #2 instead of the 401, I think it will be more fun and better for breaking in.

That's very true.. it's a much more scenic route and serves the purpose well. Plus it will give me a better chance to practice my manual driving techniques after a 2 year hiatus.

The is a real easy stick shift man, I'm sure you won't have any issues!

Hope that's true. I had some trouble with a friend's 350z a few months ago.. She probably still hasn't completely forgiven me to launching her car a couple times. :P

I just got my VIN, does it mean that my car is on transit now? Dealer won't provide specifics on eta.

If they don't have an ETA that means you car is off the ship but has not yet cleared customs...(I believe)

Once customs is cleared and the car is released the dealer should be able to pull an expected ETA for you. My car came in earlier than the ETA led me to believe which was a nice surprise.
