    We were on a list, but through incredible luck, another dealer called and said they had 3 extra being sent to them from Toyota (because they do such a large volume so they said). I won't get into specifics but it involved dumb luck and timing.

    So they called us and asked if we wanted one, and we said yes to a Pkg 2 Seaside Pearl. It was my wife's #2 or #3 color choice and my #3.

    As it was still on the boat, it was about 11 days from this call to having it in our garage. The whole time I couldn't believe it, so I didn't cancel our wait list until it was actually at my house. To top it all off, I got 3.99% that was only good for one more week.

    I already installed the DICE Ipod module, and now I'm looking at installing hardwired plugs for the Garmin Nuvi for both power and audio.
