    Thanks for getting the pic! I saw it going through, same pic you took, on my cell phone but it wouldn't let me take a screen show somehow of the webcam image. I watched as my 2010 went through the canal on the Kentucky Highway so today brought back those 'memories' lol.

    Well, I hope there are extras! Blizzard Perl/Advance. I didn't anticipate buying one but, a big SUV monster ran into mine and I have no choice. I wouldn't buy any other car. Anyone know if there is a dealer anticipating extras? I put a down payment for one at Koons Tyson in Virginia, but they are not keeping up with Cargo Vessels. Does anyone know if any of the PIP will be heading to Tyson Koons? :)

    I think all the cars being shipped now are part of the individual preorders done directly by buyers online back in November. Once those orders are filled then the dealers start getting cars later in the year. Your dealer should be able to tell you when they expect to begin getting their allocation. Sorry to hear about your car, and hope that the only injuries to you are to your pride of ownership.:(

    Jverdin, sorry about your car, if someone canceled their order it will be up for grabs. :(

    Here's a picture of the Pyxis Leader leaving the Miraflores Locks. :D

    Before First Team Toyota in Chesapeake, VA became a PC Dealer, I spoke with Koons, and they had no idea what a PiP Pre-order was, and wanted a $2k deposit for a PiP.

    First Team treated me right and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Coleman Toyota in MD is a PC dealer and is expecting several cars. I don't know if everyone is picking theirs up, but they might be worth contacting as well.

    This from Plug In Cars "Pyxis Leader cargo ship, recently arrived on its 20-day journey from Japan to the Panama Canal, before it makes its way to Jacksonville, Fla., and then Newark, NJ."

    Ok, makes sense, I know the ship that had my 2010 stopped in Florida before going to Newark.

    This is too funny. I'll have to show this thread to my wife whenever she says that I'm obsessing over something.
