Lake Taupo arrived in Davisville RI around 6am this morning.
Hoping the car's can get through port processing quickly without any delays.

Here are couple of SAT images - looks like the cars are in the white protective cover. First picture has a lot of cars and 2nd picture shows many have already moved off the pier!

To win the tire lottery you get Michelins. I got Michelins but they will be dry rotted by the time I get the car.

We can race downtown. I am pretty sure we will be on the same truck. My SA told me today the car has been released from the port and they are waiting on the truck.

Might want to ask your SA if your car has cleared the arrival inspection. Contacted mine this morning and he confirmed the car has cleared and is waiting on transport.

I have the Michelins...But have to wait for October to do European delivery. I was fortunate to get a ED spot before the price increased to $1,500. So I guess my car just sits and waits. I will be opting for 'borrowing' winter tires in Europe. I just hope they put my original tires back.

Same here waiting on the truck. My dealer is West but I believe Spiffx is River Oaks.

Thank you! I did miss Glovis Sunlight.. hoping I get on Neptune! I saw a previous post on this thread that boats to the west coast come once a month, so I'm glad to see that its just a week until Neptune arrives. Fingers crossed!

Mine just arrived at the dealership. TYD hasn’t updated though. Not that it matters, but just some info for others waiting.

Default Graduation day

Folks, this just happened. It’s been a pleasure. Hope to see some of you driving around, and everyone else in other forum threads around here.








Now headed to PPF, ceramic coating and tint.

I'm also hopeful I'm on the Supreme Ace Emdem to Halifax to Toronto.
TYD shows I've completed step 5 (Released for transport). Step 6 is Your vehicle has left port of shipment dated June 14th. This hasn't been completed.
Who knows. Would be nice to have it on the road in July.
