God I really hope they changed their protocol since I worked there. I can only imagine what a punk high school kid would do to my car before I take ownership.
Do you realize that your post has half the members of this board hyperventilating.

On a serious note though, one of the reasons I intend to pick my car up as soon as possible when it arrives at the dealer is that although I trust my SA, I am not convinced that the other SA's will not let their customers take my car for a test drive despite my strict instructions to the contrary. Given that anything from 5-20 miles is reasonable on the odometer with just the normal production and loading/off loading and PPI there is no ways I will know if it happened or not

From my experience watching TYD and 4-5 boats come thru Emden before catching Swift Ace you won't be on this boat as TYD should tell you the name of boat you are catching a couple days before the boat docks. So if your TYD doesn't show it now (or really a couple days ago) you won't be on it.

Danbury. Yep, been a long time waiting for this car. Saw it today and it has the look of a car that has been sitting outside for almost 4 months. Not sure I am taking it.

Bummer, if that is true I wouldn't blame you.

Congratulations to all who got their cars. I get mine tomorrow morning.

Looking at all of these pics makes me realize how truly beautiful these cars are. In all their various permutations and color combinations, just things of beauty.

I have already forgotten about the delay.

This quote got my antenna up, since a number of us are in the same situation. Is the paint is damaged? Are there more than a few miles on the car? If you're unhappy perhaps they'll pay for a professional detailing/paint correction?

What's going on that makes you so dissatisfied?

What specifics about appearance did you notice?
Do you know roughly how many cars have arrived at Danbury?

Thank you very much
