Anyone else at the port ??

Just called the 800 number, and my sgm 135i is now at the port awaiting a transport ship, submarine, or slip and slide, depending upon my luck!

Anyway, assuming no more "natural" disasters, its getting closer every day.

That's insane! How the heck did they build it and get it to the port in less than two days? That usually take 10 days or more. They just started building them yesterday. Yours was scheduled to be done on 1/18, iirc. (mine's still saying estimated completion on 1/16).

I think we might be getting bad info here from the 800 number. It just can't be done that quickly...

I actually didn't realize, in my warped excitement, that it had only been 2 days (6:41 on 1/10) since the build supposedly started. Guess I need to wait until Monday and talk to a live person at the OC.

Be interested to hear if anyone else is told this, though. The way my production schedule originally bounced around (week 6, then week nine, then in production) I wonder what is really going on, :iono: Hope the little robot on the production line who sets the boost on the turbos isn't as indecisive as the scheduling robot. . . 8.5, no 11, no 13.2 that's the ticket. . . :biggrin:

Just checked again, and I am back to estimated completion date of the 18th!? Makes sense, but WTF. Don't toy with me.
