    Dianne,

    EMINENT ACE got to Long Beach around 9 pm Monday, the 27th. What time yesterday (the next day) did they show up at Carson?

    I don't think that any of the cars on the Eminent Ace have made it to Dianne yet. All of the cars she has should have come from the New Century 2. Remember, it takes the port several days to clear customs, process the cars, install options, etc.

    The following cars are inbound to me SOMETIME in the next 7 days.
    Listed by your order # in order of the first digit because that's how I can sort these easiest!

    111,1215,130,153,157,166,188,197,210,212,217,249,271,297,380,390,
    464,47,505,539,55,622,626,66,68,77,772,82,89,945,959.


    I am not going to know what's HERE till it's here. If you're out of the area, we can't plan a plane flight or a drive or a day off.

    I can say two things:

    No cars will be picked up Tuesday March 13th. I have the day off for a spine/neck epidural but it's just one day and I'll be back the next day.

    No PHEVs will be picked up Sundays. It's my one and only day off, and I really need to take it. :) If you REALLY want to come for the car on a Sunday, I have an assistant who works Sundays (Nathan) who's a great guy and super tech savvy but we do have other models of cars to deliver and I don't want your delivery shortcutted.

    That said, I really look forward to meeting everyone and seeing some of you again that I had the pleasure of meeting before!

    Actually, Eminent Ace, although due Monday at 9:00 pm, didn't dock until sometime after 6 am PST on Tuesday, Feb 28.
    New Century 2 arrived Thursday evening, Feb 23, and the first cars got to Dianne on Feb 28.
    So four to five days would seem to be the minimum, at least at first.

    RV - some things I wanted to mention.

    I am not quite ready to presume that the last load equals what will happen on the next load.

    None of these cars is coming to me with a factory charge.
    Meaning, we have to charge them all. I've had them plugged in everywhere I can find space ... juggling cars and cars with leather needed .... for the past 2 days trying to get everything ready. I have no idea if they rushed the first 21 to me off the first boat or it was a normal thing.

    It's one thing to charge a few here and there but so many at one time? It's best that I contact everyone as the cars are ready to be picked up. Being ambushed is becoming a terrible thing!! I guess what I mean is I can't have three dozen people running in 4-5 days from the boat docking date assuming there's a ready car. :cool:

    On a side note: I conversed with Danny today regarding the Priuschat.com SWAG for our affiliated dealers. He's been very busy with some work related issues and also, PC server fixes and data migration.

    What's been decided is that he will be shipping things directly to me, soon... and I will re-ship to you.

    So sorry for the delay... but he's working it all out. Soon, Grasshoppers .... as they say!!

    ;)

    959, 217, 188, 772, 271, 130, 55, 157, 111.

    They may bring more before I go home ... or they may not. :D

    When you try to go to sleep at night do you have dreams of lines of PIPs following you ? :)

    This must be what is referred to when you hear the phrase, "Like herding cats." By Sunday, her only day off, Dianne will be ready to collapse!:D

    Pretty soon Carson Toyota may have to rent an additional parking lot just to hold all of Dianne's new PiPs! :rolleyes:

    Jumping in here:

    12 more PHEVs here last night and more coming today.

    I'll post order #'s soon.

    Two things?

    1. If you are hearing from me that your car is in, call me but if it rolls to voice mail, leave me a message. Calling 4 or 5 times in a row is kind of irritating! If I am with another client or amidst a delivery, it's not fair! One message, I will call back when I am free, I promise.

    2. I have already gotten plates for half of my first-day (Feb 28th) deliveries (DMV limits the amount of plates you can walk in and procure) ... and as I get your plate #'s I will email the plate # to you. Then you can finalize your HOV sticker DMV form and mail it. Don't forget the $8 check in their envelope!

    Dianne

    We have plenty of room. I have the entire 2nd story of our parking garage all to myself this next few months. We have room for 1,000 cars on this lot. No problem!
