My TSX is in the ocean

Man o Man, I placed a order on an 06 PWP / Ebony TSX w/ NAV back in September. The dealer told me the car will be delivered in December at first, and then the December delivery morphed into early January, and finally now after almost 4 months of waiting, my dealer called me yesterday and gave me the VIN number of the car and told me that my car is on its way to this country and will be in for pick up by end of this month. Man, I thought I was never gonna get this car. O well, I will post pics as soon as I receive the vehicle.

Congrats, looks like the wait is almost over. I had a hard time myself.

Also I'm glad to see it's "on" the ocean and not "in" it

Lesson learned...next time when you sign up for a new car and get ever changing dates, ensure that you have in writing that you can elect for a full refund due to any slippage in delivery dates. That way the ball is in your court and not at the mercy of the dealer jerking you around. They more then likely knew roughly when they would see delivery, but probably gave you an agressive date to count as a 'sale' in last years quota.

Yeah, I thought you were going to say your car fell off the cargo ship.

I was picturing the Porshe from Risky Business. "So, who's the u-boat commander?"

haha, I know, the title was kinda catchy. The dealer sales person called me and that was the first thing he said, and I was like WHAT!?

Yeah, I have to agree... I didn't request for a refund, because the sales manager is one o fmy good buddies, and the next closest Acura dealership is over 100 miles away...

That is what I thought when the sales manager called me and told me that, but he was just messing with me with the pun.
