The Waiting Game

My Volcano Orange MP4-12C(Gawd that sounds like a fax machine!) arrived at the Dallas dealership 2 weeks ago. Since then I have been waiting on dealer prep, Detail guy and the clear bra guy. The prep was done in 2 days. The detail guy got it last week and has been too busy. The Clear bra guy is busy till tomorrow so after 2 weeks... ALL I have done is sat in my car for 5 mins. Not even started it or driven it. I was orginally supposed to have the car by last weekend. Now they are saying this weekend might not be possible. All my friends are calling me asking if the car is in? UGH!! The waiting game is KILLING ME!!!!!!

Sorry... just needed to vent.

I would call it the Crying Game BUT that has a negative conatation

Congrats. Sorry you have to wait though, it's got to be tough. But I'm sure it will be well worth it.

Congrats!!!

stupid question,...but instead of moving the car from person A to B etc,why didn`t you let them come to your house and get it done there?
or do they need a lift and/or won't offer mobile service?

anyway,..congrats on getting such an incredible piece of engineering art

I long for this sort of First World Problem in my life () but like you I would be getting pretty antsy with the missed deadlines. I do hope it gets delivered soon and you find it exceeds your expectations.

That is why I told my dealer to wash it and ship it ASAP!!!!

All that protection stuff can be done later.

I would have picked the car up after dealer prep, then setup detail and clear bra.
