Ive tried 20 times to get that email out. It keeps saying my description field is invalid! I even tried to narrow my letter down to 256 characters! Thats barely enough to put my name and VIN number in, let alone describe my problem and frustration. Am I doing something wrong!?

edit: Maybe its my work computer blocking something. Ill try again when I get home. If that doesnt work, Ill run my IP address through a proxy server to fool them into thinking I am in the United States. What a pain!

I got to be "That Guy" tonight. My grandson is on the high school football team and the quarterback club feeds the team the night before game night. My daughter asked me to pick him up and the crowd went wild when I pulled up. What a reaction. Yep, I'm officially that old guy that has the coolest car in town. A lot of those kids will remember the night they saw their first Dodge Challenger. Maybe influence them to be Mopar devotees the rest of their lives. Or, the rest of Chrysler's life, whichever comes first.

WOOHOO
Both my cars went to D status today with VINs assigned and production to be complete within 1 week (by Sept 19, 2008)
I sent a letter about my dissatisfaction last night and had a congratulations e-mail this morning.
I think things were destined to move today and may have had nothing to do with my e-mail.
Well anyway I"m STOKED!

The email finally went through! I think my subject "2009 Challenger Status Question" was too long. I just sent it as "Status Question" and it worked fine.
Here is the email I sent, edited slightly for privacy reasons:
So lets see if the person on duty today is as generous as the one that helped Burcer and Fatcat.
Here is the email I sent, edited slightly for privacy reasons:
Hello,
I am a US Soldier stationed in Germany. I am also a member of an online community of people who either own Challengers or currently have one on order. Back in May I placed my order for a 2009 Challenger SRT8 through Exchange New Car Sales. (www.encs.com) Being that my dealer is not a Chrysler employee, he cannot give me any detailed information on my order.
I do know from the online community that a large number of 2009 Challengers have been delivered. Most have gone towards dealer stock and the rest have gone to customers with pre-orders that were placed WELL AFTER mine. I find that fact disturbing, to say the least.
Now I will be the first to admit that I havent got a clue as to how your company processes orders and assigns build dates. But it seems to me that in the interest of fairness, Chrysler would fill their pre-orders first, and at least attempt to do so in the order they were received! It is apparent however, that this is NOT the case.
The last update I received from my dealer was that I am in "D" status and I have a VIN. That was over 3 weeks ago. Since then, I have watched with disappointment as dealers get their stock filled. If I were in the United States, I might be tempted to cancel my order and attempt to purchase one of these vehicles. But then again, I've heard some outrageous reports of "Market Adjustments" in excess of $10,000 being tacked on to the base price by these greedy dealers. So I doubt I would even be able to afford an R/T from them. At that price, it would be cheaper to purchase a Corvette! If I went that route, not only would I get superior performance, but I'd also save on gas mileage as well!
However, the majority of the vehicles I have owned have been Chrysler products. And Dodge has never let me down in the past. So, as a loyal customer, I have one simple request. Could someone PLEASE tell me what is going on with my car? What is its status code, and what is the estimated date of manufacture? I understand if the date is not completely accurate, but I would like to know SOMETHING.
Here is my information:
Name: XXXX
VON: XXXX
VIN: XXXX
