West Coast and Texas folks have been fairing the best, luckily dogs. Some folks on the G20 forum were in virtual mutiny over ships moving backwards, forgetting to drop off cars, paddling too slow, you name it, they were in full revolt over there. I gotta say I’m still feeling the high from getting out QC. I’m prepared to wait a month as I have a good guess what ship I’ll be on. If it happens sooner, I’ll buy some rounds in Greer, SC to celebrate.

You should have you car by this time next week I imagine. A short drive to New Orleans for Jazz Fest should help you break it in nicely. When I lived in Austin I loved that drive, especially on I-10 over Lake Pontchartrain where there is no place for cops to hide, I buried the needle on my ‘01 540 on that stretch, fastest car I had ever driven, it hit the limiter at 155 pulling hard and still had a lot of room in 6th gear. What an fantastic car that was, great memories. BTW, I’ll be at Jazz Fest if you come down, I’ll help you break it in.

It’s a shitty thing to complain about, but we’re going on vacation on the 30th, so it’s half way likely the car will be sitting in the dealer showroom whilst I’m in the Bahamas!

That stretch of road is amazing. But the last time I drove it, there was some major accident which kept my average speed significantly below 15.5mph!

NA rep said they can’t get specifics on cars in 155 but said it’s usually a waiting on parts issue. Not sure why that wouldn’t be noted as it was in the famous G82 parts shortage/Covid era QC holds of up to 9 months. Maybe it has to reach a certain time of hold to get those updates or it could be that there was actually an issue that needed to be checked or it went thru the famous strip down behind closed doors where they quality check every little thing.

I hope you see movement soon.

Logged in this morning to see that I'm now at final assembly

Ha, that’s ironic, goddamn Bahamas ruining your fun.

Grand Pioneer showed up on the Brunswick 15 day outlook and recently docked in Veracruz so some should

My car has been in “Production Begins” for about a week now. Really hoping its built by 5/5 like the CA/Genius both stated and gets on a boat quickly. I’d be super hyped if I can actually take delivery before the end of May.

Hahahaha... "gets on a boat quickly" ..... sorry for laughing. I really should be crying as my car has been sitting on the dock of the bay for weeks now. No info from the Genius folks or my dealer--they each want me to ask the other for an update.

I ordered a different German-built car last year and it spent over 3 months "In Production" and no one was ever able to get info on what caused the delay. When it was ready to get onto a boat, it appeared to cut the line and get on before others that were waiting at the port for weeks but had no production delays. So that was good. Now, I get Carfax emails telling me I am overdue for an oil change on the car that was built 1 year ago but only delivered 6 months ago.

That’s why I used the word hope, lol.

The ‘Geniuses’ still say my car is on the boat, so I guess after it’s Mexican vacation it’s going for a cruise!!

You’ve got bad luck with the “Geniuses”, that doesn’t make sense unless the port at Galveston got hit by a hurricane and you’re being rerouted to Brunswick. Check your Sales order or VIR and see what port it says on it. Upper right hand corner. 6 letters ending in POA.

I just jumped back to ‘At the Port’, so I guess it’ll be at the dealership tomorrow or Saturday.

I replied to the above to let them know as well!

[cmgbk75]

The GRAND PIONEER is sitting at Anchor off the Port of Veracruz and has an updated arrival to Brunswick on 5/10. I’m hoping it’s waiting on more cars to reach the port to have a full load.

TORINO is in the Port of Altamira with an updated ETA of 5/6 into Brunswick.

GLOVIS SYMPHONY just departed Altamira enroute to Brunswick via Tampa on arriving 5/12.

Deer Gawd please put my M2 on one of these dang boats, she’s been stuck on “Ready for Transport” for almost a month now!
