Well i got the name of the ship... the perseus leader... but i can't seem to get a good update on its location.... still keeping my fingers crossed that the car will arrive the 15th or 16th... but i have this nagging feeling that a further delay is in store for me.... This sucks... i should be behind the wheel now, instead of behind this keyboard

You may be right. I used www.marinetraffic.com - It was kind of neat actualy coz once the vessel came into range I could track in real-time the exact location as it pulled into baltimore. - your vessel name is not displayed yet - which probably means its out of range - assuming its being tracked of course.

I just found out that a week after I got my car - my vessel ( amity ace) ran aground - and is still stuck I believe.

Not installed yet... apparently they put it on at the dealership in order for it not to get damaged during transport..

went by service center today, they are doing the diagnostic testing on the car... I will post more pictures once the car is in my possession and properly detailed...
