its so hard to believe ive been waiting this long!

sales rep told me it ports at long beach tomorrow (3/25) and I am supposed to get it no later than Monday

what gives? im so confused...i thought my car was delivered to Baltimore on the Grand Orion and that it would be trucked across country.

do you think it was transferred off that ship to another ship to long beach?

i don't get how these logistics work...but 5 months in the waiting...it doesnt work well in my opinion.

I feel your pain. The only consolation I can give is that I'm confident that you'll be very pleased when you get it. I'm ecstatic with mine. Exactly what I wanted. Smooth, powerful, comfortable, handles well. I love the MM.

Hold on.

The end is in sight, so hang in there for a few more days. You'll love it when you finally get your hands on it.

Mine was built in Germany & landed in Long Beach, I don't know what the route is either
