    Yeah, curious. If you search for her on the left side of the screen, it says out of range... But there she is, offloading our PiPs!

    Calbear,
    I don't know whether you ever got an answer to your earlier post about your car being on the Eminent Ace, but you said yours was built on the 7th. My build date was supposed to be the 8th, so they should both be on this ship. I'll be watching for a post when you first get to see yours at the dealer.

    I just noticed that a ship called Indiana Highway is in Long Beach today. Haven't seen anyone posting about it or expecting their car to be on it. Maybe Dianne will get some more cars soon.

    Those of us receiving our cars were part of the inital ordering process. Toyota opened an online ordering system last year for a few months. Those of us that registered were able to order when the system opened in November. Initial deliveries are beginning this month and will probably continue for the next 4-6 months. After that there will probably be some "open" inventory at the dealers.

    Thanks for following up. I did get confirmation from my dealer that the car was on the boat and arrived at the port yesterday. Still don't know how long it will take to get to the dealer and finish PDI, but hopefully I'll be getting it sometime this week or weekend at the latest! :rockon:

    I misread the date, she was shown in Long Beach yesterday, 2/25 at 19:00+ UTC. Was she ever there?

    Pyxis Leader is in Panama! Worried that she was lost at sea for awhile there, while all of our West Coast friends watched their PIPs arrive.

    Work will have to wait, while I track this ship as it is moored on the Pacific end of the canal.

    Looks like Eminent Ace is near Santa Maria. I have a friend with a home on the beach at Malibu. Wonder if she would be able to see the ship with a good pair of binoculars.;)
