Real information from a trusted source. To you coupe buyers who will be driving your car this time next week .

We are on the convertible list so still some time. But it is sooner rather than later now.

Thanks for the (hopefully real) info Ken!! Is it true that the cars heading west will ship first? When would you say your first car(s) be arriving based on this ship date?

Their website says they have 1800 unit fleet of vehicle carriers. I'm sure they can move a lot of cars pretty quickly.

Thanks you are a source we can trust . Keep us informed . I talked to an employee and he said they are putting the covers on 800 cars today and working overtime to get all set for shipping. Won't be long now.

It'll be nice to start seeing threads from owners who have their cars, and getting real ownership feedback.
