Looks like its just us on board so far...

What car/color/options did you get? And are you by chance experienced in tracking these boats? Some of the other vessel threads are pretty in depth with pictures and tracking...hopefully we get someone in here with one of those subscriptions for daily updates.

Feels good to finally be on board something...

absolutely - it feels great!

I got 335i Coupe.
Black Sap on Black w/ Alum
19'' wheel upgrade on Sports Package
Comfort Access
Navi
Premium
Backup Assistance
Ipod USB
I think thats it. Didn't get heated seats, cold weather, HD or Sat.
And You?

I have a feeling that when I get home tonight, I'll spend some time researching how to track these badboys. We'll get it done right and soon enough we'll be !

Awesome car...
Mine is:
335i coupe, Jet black, Black leather, Dark Burl, Premium, Sport (18'' style 189), heated seats, ipod/usb, Nav, and Sirius.

I guess my voyage will be slighlty shorter than yours (Im NYC port)...so maybe Ill have some inside info when mine hits the port and leaves (such as any (god forbid) shipping damage, vessel departure times etc.).

Nice to have you on board...lets bring it home Independence!

I think we should continue a little tribute to Things Dealing with "Independence". . . make the thread more fun. Somebody has to come along and name what it has to do with.

Try not to cheat.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Is that a quote or is that just your own truth? If its a quote - I lose. If its the truth - you're a better man than me. Kudos to you

That is the truth....

Graduated law school, passed the bar, sold my special edition ss camaro, bought my wife a new saab, and i took over her old civic for the past year (in that order). Any car would feel like a dream to me...let alone the ones we have on order.
