I was starting to think about how others try not to go CRAZY waiting.What do you do, besides reading EVERYTHING on this great site? Let's here from the quiet waiters hahaha...... OH YA....SMILE IS STARTING
OK start listing ideas to make time go by faster, THANKS

When I ordered my 2005 I placed the order and then tried to forget about it (which I did for the most part). I never even told my wife or kids I ordered the car. Much to my surprise the car arrived in one month. The anticipation will get to you...IMO try to forget about it and occupy your time with other things. Congratulations and I hope your car arrives soon.

I'm thinking sometime between first day of Spring and April 1st.
About a month from now. Can't wait to pay $5.00 for gas.

FYI - I order my GS on 12/13 and pick it up at the dealership on 2/17/12. It was caught with 2 shutdowns at the factory. It took a total of 66 days. The other concern you will have to deal with is when they will shipped your car. They (BG trucks) required 11 cars per load. Until they find 11 cars heading in your direction you are placed on hold.
I hope this helps you understand the process. I know it does not help the time go faster. Cong on your new car.:leavi ng:
