    Thanks for the info. It definitely makes the wait for my car less stressful.

    I wonder if the Kentucky Highway made a stop in Vancouver (BC) before heading for Portland, if so, then my car is probably in Canada!! :)

    James, I'll add my thanks too. So many people have gotten their car that maybe the intense interest in ship tracking has abated somewhat, but there are folks like me still waiting (2 mos. and counting). If I'm lucky, one of the ships coming to the east coast will have a car with my name on it sooner rather than later.

    Pretty cool to see my car's carrier, Kentucky Highway, coming into Portland today. :)

    I found an interior photo of one of the car carriers.

    Looks like about 12 abreast on the deck shown, with 8,000 total on the ship.

    Hey our car is on that same ship, have been tracking it everyday, hour, minute and second. It finaly docked, and thanks for the interior pics of the inside of a the ship. (Even though you'll be getting yours before we get ours in Missouri).

    Kentucky Highway has left Portland and is now apparently en route to New Westminster, BC.

    I want to thank James for keeping this thread going, as well. I've been waiting for my IV with SR for 2 months and always like to look to see the new ships coming to the East coast. My dealer finally called to say that my car has been allocated! It's on the Cetus Leader, which is due in to Jacksonville on 7/9 and then on to Newark!!! Like many others I originally thought that tracking the ship that your car is on was way over the top, but here I am - it may be crazy, but it sure is fun! Thanks, James!

    James, this is great info! If I know my car's VIN, how can I know what vessel it is on?

    I've also been waiting for my IV w/SR since the end of May. Hoping that I hear soon.

    And James, thanks for the tracking. The mods should make this a sticky. Hint, Hint mods :D
