He asked for my reference number, which I did not have, so gave him my last name. He said " " (my last name) and he had my file right on the desk in back of him. Now I am getting very interested and he put my name in and my car completed engine replacement 8/1 and waiting to be transported to them. He said I should have it next Sat.. Too bad I have to get the clear bra put on and some other things done; plus then I have to leave on business trip, so figuring Friday, Aug 15 at noon I will have it. But then on Sat leaving on vacation bur at least I will get a full day with it.

So - I would not rely on PCNA for the updated info but go to your dealer. I saw the info displayed on his computer for validation. Almost there- hang in there every one

Nick, Silverrules, and others from the Glovis Condor--seems like our wait is finally coming to an end!

Hmmm. Wondering if I should contact my dealer for an update...
So happy for all of you. Awesomeness coming soon!

Great day today. Went for headed to the Dealership hoping to get it by Labor day weekend to possibly next Sat.

I would suggest for those "Cat Bs" waiting at Port to call Dealership for update. I think PCNA is just looking at what week you had and reading off some sort of guideline.

I must clean garage tomorrow. Had it redone last Sept in anticipation of car but need to make sure I sweep and mop floor.

Ugh. Still no update on my car. Looks like I'm the second class Cat B guy.

Don't give up hope, Tim. It'll be here before you know it, or shortly after that

You and me both, Tim. No updates on mine yet either other than "look for it in early August".

Man, John. Looks like we're left out for now.

But the upside is that we'll likely be 1-2 weeks behind these other Cat B guys.

Regardless, it'll be soon.
