I just got a message from my dealer stating that the car got offloaded has already been processed and along with three other vehicles scheduled for the same dealership, is waiting assignment to a truck! The chances of it being at the dealership in a day or so are good.
Getting close now!

You guys are all awesome. It is really fun to read this thread and share (peripherally) in your excitement! I hope at some point to be posting about one of these babies coming my way too someday. ...and you know what they say, "pictures or it didn't happen!"

OK, for those of us expecting the car to arrive in Houston, according to vesseltracker.com, the Marina Ace just left Brunswick - 16 minutes ago, or around 10:40pm EDT.

I read somewhere else that these ships typically stays in port for less than 24 hours as it cost a lot more money for them to stay longer, so it seems that Marina Ace was on that schedule.

Just got word that the dealer 'expects' my car to arrive on the transporter today in Jacksonville as well. I hope they are right! I will likely only pick it up on Saturday as the kids don't want to miss the delivery! (and I have a few items I need installed before delivery) I am on a flight back from Mexico now, but may need to stop by and just SEE it again for a few minutes good day!
good day!

I can't wait to see the pics of both of your cars.
My son wants to be there, too, but on the other hand he says if I can get the car on Friday on my way home, then I can take him to his football game Sat morning in it. So I'll let him decide, assuming the car gets to the dealer tomorrow as expected.

I arrived at the dealer and my car was being offloaded! Hooray. They are preping it and I drive it home in a few hours. I'm going to watch the tech do his stuff! Exciting!!!

This now kicks my excitement into a whole new gear! I'm hopefully just a day or two behind you.

I picked the car up today... What a lovely day! Didn't expect to see the car come off the trailer as soon as I turned up at the dealer! The rest was perfect...
