Joani or Neal,

Could one of you guys check to see if RTFROMNC's Challenger was placed on a railcar?

Thanks!

Being stuck in limbo also, guess you can always try to look at it like... "when I finally get mine it will be newer than those old ones that shipped days, weeks or months ago"...

Cheers!! Keep your chin up... its going to be great!!

for as cruel as that is..it looks like the huge ramp up to 09's is going to hit very shortly after the 08 build

As Jay Leno would say here are tonight's HEADLINES

Lets start with the GOOD news

Joani your car is in PAINT and will be there through FRI

Hal your car went into trim at 5:30PM

And now the BAD news

They have cancelled the SAT overtime due to no room in the parking lot to put the Challengers that they have built. They are now building 120 a day
I am told when they build chargers/300's they move them out and load them up and send them off to the dealer
As you know they want every challenger to be perfect so they are checking every Challenger over and over to-make sure they are 100% and then they send them off. Well this has caused a parking jam so they dumped that SAT overtime.

I will tell you about Jay Leno at a later date.

I gotta admit, Budman, that I'm glad waiting for an '09. Something smells REALLY bad about this holdup on the '08s. Not to dispute anything you're saying, because you're reporting what you're being told, but having owned NOTHING but American cars all my life, I find it hard to believe that they're being held up this long just to be checked over. What's actually wrong with these cars?
