I will be intercepting your car when it stops off here in IL. The good news is it will arrive much sooner since you can fly here and pick it up instead, and by the time you get here I will have it completely broken in for you! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyDude Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hey Shelbydude..... Is there a way to get a good estimate on when she should show up at the dealership near Oklahoma City ? :happy feet: Your dealer can get up to minute tracking with ETA by going into FMC Dealer. Or if you are able to track it with the railcar # that will give you ETA. Those are usaually pretty accurate. Grabber can track them with a railcar # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber can track them with a railcar # Ok question for you ShelbyDude, just called CS they said they don't have a railcar # as it has been unloaded and awaiting shipment to dealer, they said it probably means it is in CO and is waiting for a car transport. That correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they said the 7th but not to bank on it because the original ETA was about the 16th, CS said they still have 12th -19th in the system but that seems a little long as the car is unloaded already. LOL who knows, at least it is almost ready. PSDS sucks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That correct? Probably. Ask your dealer to check its status. They can type the vin in and it will tell them exactly where it is. They just have to go into FMC Dealer and click on the "visiability" tool. I would do it for you but it doesn't let us check on other vehicles ordered from other dealers. We can only check our own inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am off to the dealer tomorrow to see if I can pick her up wooo hoo. Lets see if I have everything,,,,spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch,,, yup and a damn big cheque too!! Oh yeah my Canon 30D for some serious pictures. I will report back soon boys and girls.

mikehart99 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi Bigslick, Well it was a false alarm,we got to the dealer and the car was stuck still out at the railyard just 5 miles away. (It was no problem as we were in Vancouver for the LA Galaxy soccer game with David Beckham in the house.), he was going to try something heroic for today but we decided to go back to our Isalnd and fly over Saturday for sure and the dealership will pick my son and I up and we can make a great day of it and as my wife says"talk man" for a while. Speaking of my wife, I was the biggest supporter of her getting the 06 Gt vert with every bell and whistle and she inturn is the one pushing for me to get mine,,,,testecles intact here. I am glad Rocky is taking care of you, do you know he drives a 4300hp GM,,,,,,,,,,,,,train locomotive?,,,oh ya and a F350 Harley truck too. good guy. I will of course updating when we have the package. Mikehart for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
