Cried, sounds like we both ordered the same car, UL with all factory options. My HS had the tech package, you use to all the safety options and realize how valuable they really are. Next step is for us to find out which ship they are on to track them online. Where do you live? I am in Georgia so my car will ship to the Jacksonville, FL port.

Tracking the ship is fun but don't tell your family or they will think you are either bored or crazy. I followed mine right into the port and then tried to see it unloaded on the satellite view but don't believe that photo is live. Still fun.

Made we wonder about the ship's crew though - about two weeks on the water then just a few hours unloading in Long Beach before departing for another CA. port, unloading again and on their way back to Japan. And I assume these carriers return pretty much empty. I checked on it yesterday and it did seem to be traveling at a faster pace.

I too have the same color combo ordered with all the boxes checked. My car also will be porting in Jacksonville. They started building my car today so it should be finished by Friday.

Dave Mac,
Do you have a link to the ship tracking website?

I believe it is http://www.marinetraffic.com then go to vessels and enter your vessel name off of the vehicle inquiry report.

I'm in MA (East Coast also)... I am trying really hard not to call my dealership (as I know they have to be tired of me calling), but im wondering if maybe my dealer just was telling me there was no new info without actually looking it up. Its kinda hard to believe that we all ordered our cars about the same time, and all of your cars are either being built, or shipping, and there is no movement on mine??

I guess ill give them till the end of this week, and if still nothing, then I will call them again early next week!! Or maybe ill just show up at the dealer!

You guys are making me so jealous right now dammit...

Creid, just ask your salesperson to email a copy of the vehicle enquiry report. There may be only one person at the dealership that does this so do it today.

So I just found out from my dealer that my vehicle isn't due to arrive until the Jan 20th allotment He mentioned that they get an allotment of cars around the 20th of every month, and in tracking mine, it isnt due to arrive until then.

Oh well guess I have a little over a month to wait!! Thats what I get for ordering all the options available lol

Kenny,

You are lucky your car is porting in Jacksonville - I understand there is or was a strike at the Long Beach port just after my car was shipped and that deliveries are slow.

I'm hoping it doesn't effect my delivery date.

No updates yet. I haven't contacted my dealership in awhile. If I don't talk to him this week, I will talk to him for sure next week. Do you know what information I need to track the cargop ship ?

I believe all you need is the name of the ship. Then you can go to one of the vessel tracking sites like http://www.marinetraffic.com/
