The Aida and my 1M is almost here!

Should get better updates from the other tracking sites when she gets closer to shore.

Ok, im still waiting for the Aida to dock in Baltimore. I checked last night and it was still out in the Atlantic and i checked again at noon and it has not moved. Is it anchored and doing some deep sea fishing? UGH!!! Ive been waiting since February and i had to schedule my vacation for the first few weeks of November. I have to get this by the 16th or i will need to send my wife and son to get it for me...not a good idea.

I drove through Waterloo yesterday evening and thought about you and your car. I still think you will have it by the end of next weekend.

Keep up the faith!

I'm guessing you headed north out of Iowa City. One of my buddy's saw an orange 1M on 380 and sent me an excited message. He was sure I must have gotten my car. I wondered if it was you.

I watched the boat dock online Sat morning and my status online says "finishing touches" so let's hope she's here by the weekend!

Our carscare here! Did your dealer give you an ETA to the dealership?

That ETA time for the Aida was the one listed from the beginning. I tracked it live late Friday night and watched it dock early Sat am. Then a little while later it moved to on other dock where they offload the cars. This morning the Aida was headed back already. Tracking was cool. Gave me something to do while I wait. Won't be waiting much longer!

Yep, that was me! I was thinking on the way back that if I had your number I would call you and we could meet up. That is a bit cruel, however, and you should see yours first.

Kind of scary how you can't hide in the car. Make sure to let me know when you hear about your delivery.

Just got a call from my dealer...my baby will be here on Friday, which is Veterans day. My son was joking with me a few weeks ago that it would be great if we got the car on Veterans days since its our tradition to take me out for dinner on that day. So it looks like a new car and a dinner on Friday. WhoooHooooo!!!!!

that's awesome! Quick too. Congrats. My dealer said it could be late this week or early next week. Bad news is we're getting our first snow tonight. Should be gone by the weekend though. Have to get my garage ready for the new baby M.

Nice pics! Mine still isn't here. I hope it's not stuck in Baltimore. The 800 number said "at port, awaiting transport. Iowa can't be that much farther. I'm hoping early this week.

Call your sales manager and ask where your car is. Mine told me after it was at the port in Baltimore when it would be at the dealership and it actully showed up the night before. I think they can track it once its on the car hauler.

This is generally correct, once the car is "released to the carrier" the dealership can track it again. in my case, the car dissappeared for a couple days and then reappeared.

I am really surprised that your car is still not here David.

While I was waiting for mine to show up, I did a little enhancement to one of your shots I really liked. Hope you don't mind.

It was a long journey, but we both have our VO 1M now!

Looks great. I sent the pic to my son and he thought it was a different car until he looked closer.
