BroDoze Should be able to chime in here.
Happened to him but sounds like it eventually started moving.

I wouldn't worry too much. The guys at the port are probably just using it to get Popeyes for everybody at the shop. One car is chosen at random to serve this divine need and generally goes through a two week rotation. You should have your car soon, and bonus! It's almost fully broken in!

Mine also arrived on the 17th. Just spoke to a genius who said the work order date for the MP HAS was listed as 9/19, but no status update since.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been at Brunswick port since 9/11 with no movement (MY25 M240)... genius was unable to tell me anything.

Between the strike and the hurricane we will be lucky if the Glovis Challenger will unload in Baltimore on 10/9. Fingers Crossed. Good luck to everyone stuck at VPC. You are closer than most. Enjoy the break-in period while we follow the ship progress.

Not a good start that the GC went from Veracruz to Altamira and is now sitting there.

Yes - I was sitting at port for about 32 days. Brutal! But now it's stateside on a car-carrier.
Genius informed me it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks for a boat to be "assigned" while at the port.

I’m hearing worse than Covid level shortages.

Average I’ve seen folks mention is about 10-12 weeks additional time.

I'm fine with it coming in April. I rather have it when I can drive it most days rather than have to swap tires or not drive during winter

Ahhh yes, fair call. I daily my Supra on the factory tires year round in NY and plan the same thing for the M2 so it’s gonna get used front the very jump while the Turo gets put on Turo.

I've had a BRZ with summer tires. It's like driving on plastic. I'd rather not haha.
You trust people in NY to take care of the Supra on Toro? I've heard nightmares

I ordered this and is scheduled to be built week 42. It reminds of the E9 Golf Yellow which is one reason I chose it.
