I get daily updates as the railcar passes intermediate points. It was going through southwestern Wyoming this morning but it should be into Nevada by tomorrow.
Damn, so its gonna take 4 days to get here from Nevada?
Hard to say. When my Raptor shipped out, it passed right through Roseville and then went down to the Bay area for a couple days. Some crap about where the railcar was positioned in the train. You also have to factor in unloading time and the trucking company picking it up from the railyard to move it to the dealer. [ December 24, 2011, 11:45 PM: Message edited by: iceman302 ]

It passed through Roseville just before noon today. I sure wish they could've just unloaded it there.

I think they actually unload vehicles in Benicia and then they're trucked from there. Roseville doesn't have a large enough storage yard.

Not if I can help it. I've already reached out to the manager that handles the PDI's. They've been instructed not to put a front plate on it. And I know the name of the PDI tech.

winning - buying a brand new badass car, and getting to take care of it how you like and drive it however you like.
not winning - being a $10/hr lot monkey messing with other peoples property.

Yeah. Ummm. Congrats.
I met the fleet manager when my Raptor was delivered in January. He is personally monitoring my car. It isn't leaving the lot unless I'm driving it.

It's at the rail yard in Benicia... waiting for a truck to transport it to the dealer. I'm hoping for tomorrow or Friday.
