70sguy,

Maybe our cars are like siamese twins and Chrysler is trying to find a way to surgically separate them.

Hi Joani,
I think if you click post reply, and look down to the left (to the right of File) click where it says (click here to upload). Or you can email me garyphillips@bellsouth.net and I will post them for you.

Birddog,

They have about 2 days to ship my car before they take their mandatory shut down. I figure it should be ready to receive badge 6400 by then. If not, it doesn't really matter, they can sit on it as long as they like, it's kind of like free storage. You should have kept yours they were covering your storage until you had your garage built. Bird, you have to look on the bright side of things no matter how agonizing they may be.

If it doesn't ship, oh well, I'll be going on vacation soon. Maybe my dealer will have it broke in by time I get back.

70sguy,
I wish I could stay as cool as you. I don't think I would be as upset as Birddog but you are one cool character.

PS
I instructed my dealer in writing: DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again. Thank you Joani.

Although I have no idea what "Carrier can put on hold 07/09/2008 10:23 AM EDT N/A" means.

This is my 3rd Chrysler in 2 years. (Company cars for staff) I hope, really hope they can get this one out soon. Mine is the last of 3 for my dealer. He has been great, but this blog has more info than he does.

If you ever get to the Chicag area, I would be happy to assist on any event tickets you may need or simply buy you a drink.

I truly appreciate all your help on this.

JIM

Does anyone know whether the Brampton Plant vacation shutdown affects shipping cars that already built, or is it just the car making process that shuts down?
Mine is built, just not shipped (that I know of).
Thanks,
MWC

70sguy,

I think I found me a new toy. It isn't going to be as fast as the Challenger, but it may turn just as many heads.

Birddog,

That certainly looks nice and will definitely turn some heads. Is that your garage?

It should not shut down, they are a separate entity. Ground Effects produces products for a lot of major automobile manufacturers. I don't think much will happen though, dodge or chrysler will not be able to track the vehicles and inventory unless they retain staff. SO if your car isn't kz by tomorrow, you probably won't see your car until after the first week or so in August. Those are just my thoughts and personal views. My car will probably be delivered around labor day, by my estimate.

BTW: After our cars sit for weeks in the overflow parking lot and then make the couple of weeks journey through the rail system the paint should have plenty of time to cure and be ready for a good waxing.
