Mine too, after 10 days in "awaiting transport". Elektra call sign is SIWB, stopped in Sweden on 16th, on way to Belgium and UK ports prior to Atlantic voyage. Scheduled arrival in NY on 30th (which I think is a day later then planned).

Sigh it got moved to the 31th already...When I first saw it was shed for the 27th. Does the NY stop provide cars for dealers in PA?

My car's status changed to "en route" this morning also. Newbie question, but how can I determine which ship my car is on?

Check out the sticky at the top of this section. (Ship tracking guide)

For me, it was a matter of pumping my VIN into the W/W site (I'm on the east coast) day after day until I got a positive response.

Well you are going to have to wait a couple of days before a actual boat comes and picks it up. Mine took a week from awaiting transport to actually being on a boat. In order to find out what shipping company you are going to be getting on check this thread http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2906

Hope that helps!
