Default In transit for a while

My dealer told me that my car was routed from KY to Detroit to NY to NH. Seems like a lot of traveling. The Detroit destination seems out of the way. Is this normal?

Depends--where is it suppose to end up? NH? If so, yes that actually sounds about right. If it's MacMulkin, I know Tommy told me several times he has this one or that one in the yard in NY.

Gotta love train shipments.

Hey, is that what happened? If so I am glad I did not know that. It would have made me even more

I was told that they are starting to use trucks again for shipments to Minnesota. I know by train it was taking up to an extra three weeks for delivery.

I don't know why they went from trucks last fall to trains, back to trucks again? Maybe they felt it wasn't safe to use trucks during the winter? Didn't want all the salt spray on the vehicles?

Yep NH at MacM, then it rides on a trailer south to me. It will be worn out by the times it gets to me.
