    Yes, Dianne is obviously the queen of dealer trades! I may have a new Prius in my garage around the end of the month after all! She said she may end up shipping yours, mine, and one other one to Texas on the same truck.

    Is yours on the same ship or a different one?

    It's on the same ship, so our cars will be on the same truck. I hope they come to me first :D

    Sugar Land, near Houston, TX. I think the other one was going to Dallas, TX, so we'll see where the trucker goes first...

    I'm also looking for the Sunbelt Spirit ... told it should make NJ the end of the month.

    After that, how long to offload, drop in some PIOs, and truck it to DC?

    Thanks! :rockon:

    I didn't/haven't seen the sunbelt spirit or eminent ace at the canal. They may have dropped cars including prius for the other central America countries at their ports. Was gone over the weekend so maybe I missed them.

    continental highway headed east also
    Expecting a ship at Portland by the weekend

    So they're going to drop my car off, load the hold with grapefruit, and head home. That's outstanding!!! :bounce:

    Here is a LIVE update on the Sunbelt Spirit:

    [​IMG]

    Not the best picture, but its at the dock (towards the center of the picture) with the door open. I was driving to work across the bridge and I recognized it right away, figured a pic from my office wouldn't hurt. All sites show that it arrives tomorrow. :)

    I hope that we get our Prius this weekend.

    Wow, the difference in height from one side of the locks to the other is pretty amazing. I could get a much better pic of the Sunbelt Spirit Right now without the morning glare, but I think that is overkill. :) It does look like the Hull is no longer open. My early pic does my view no justice. :)

    Well ... if the hull is closed, then she should be ready to motor up to Newark and drop off my ride :D

    Sunbelt Spirit was gone when I drove across the bridge this morning. :rockon:

    Now if only I knew how much longer from the port until my dealer. :)

    Sweet!

    You're in Jacksonville, so I wouldn't think too long for it to show up. My Prius is floating by, going to Newark, then being trucked to DC. Wish they'd stop in Baltimore!!!

    Or I could have just settled for silver ... :eek:
