Default I'm getting a Wednesday Car!!

Just got notified by my salesperson...the official "build" date of my S will be December 12th...a Wednesday!! What more could I ask for? I guess that means I'm guaranteed a good 10 extra horses to the wheels, right? All joking aside, I'm glad the moment is at hand. How much faith can I put in the 2-week shipping time from Japan, Inc.? My salesperson told me I might get the car before Christmas, but I won't be surprised if it's more like the first half of January. Also, I guess getting a convertible in the middle of winter is proof that I fit in with all of you nuts, right?

Just remember, when it's Wednesday here, it's already Thursday in Japan.

I never thought the day of the week mattered with a Honda?

Don't they treat everyday like its the last day of the rest of their lives??

Station...yes, you fit in with us Chi-town whackjobs nicely. I know a lot of us got our S2000's in the dead of winter...and I drove it off the lot with the top down...! I was like this ---->

Make sure you come out for our VOTA Racing meetings in the city. We had one last night and a lot of important beer...err, I mean business, was discussed. Watch the Meets and Events forum for upcoming "meetings."

Congrats on the car...!

Station,

Congrats on your order...

Are you also getting yours from Elk Grove H?

In any case, you will love it! I can't stop driving mine...

Jalbrah,

Yes I did!! Blair Morrow!! I put a deposit on it on October 19th, the day I went to see your #303 on the showroom floor. I loved the new silver so much, I gave them a check right then and there. I also cancelled my order for a Silver/Red at another dealership (been waiting since August 1st, and I don't like the new all-red interior). Of course, it will be MSRP with no forced options

And yes...I will love it!! My GF rented me one for a day in Vegas. It was, hands-down, the best car I've ever driven. Everyone else...thanks for the support!

Can't speak for wintertime delivery, but this summer my June 20th build date translated into a July 27th delivery date. But that included time to ship the car across country from San Diego to Michigan. You're a lot closer to port, so maybe?!?!..... Regardless of the wait, it WILL be worth it. Glad to have another "nut" amongst us
