my car got to davisville on 11/14, and I took delivery on 11/19 (northern Virginia). I think it will definitely be under the tree.

Don't feel too bad Nick, my gt3 was suppose to dock in Halifax but b/c of the winter storm, the port was backed up with too many cars so it remained on the vessel and had to unload in R.I. From there it had to travel through the states, clear customs again, then get transported to Toronto......BUT on the way, the transport truck had mechanical failures on a Friday then had to wait until the following Monday to get repaired, then and finally then did it arrive to my dealer. At least that's the story I was told.

Yoga, meditation, prayer, counseling, etc...may help. On the other hand, a straight jacket or alcohol, or both are probably your best bet.

Enjoy, I'm happy for you.
LOL.
I never been an anxious person but this has got me a little.

I'm eager to see more pics once you get it out in the sun but from here the prior gen decals appear to work really well on this car. Would love to see some side by sides with the 08.

I'll post better pics of the UV this week. Unfortunately, the 08 Frog is in NY while UV probably will stay in Houston until the spring. So, no chance to see them together for a few months. I'll post side-by-sides once the salt is gone and Grimace moves to NY.
