Nice ride Archangel. I'm hoping to pick my ride up tomorrow. I'll try to get some pics up soon. Hopefully it will get a little warmer here so I can cruise around with the top down.

Yeah, tomorrow is going to be pretty rough. Strange as it seems my CA told me he has no idea when my car will get here. I find it hard to believe he can't give me a delivery date this late in the game. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for Monday.

Given the current pattern of our deliveries/anticipated deliveries, I would say you are very close. Hang in there!

Yea, he really should be able to tell you exactly where your car is.

The way it went down with my dealer, was that the car has actually been there for a few days. It is in their storage facilty nearby. My CA said that we needed to wait for insurance and registration stuff before I could pick up the car. Maybe they are buying time at your place?

Make sure to post some pics when you get it!!!

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to hang in there but getting more impatient by the hour. The worst part is that I am really not sure what is going on and my CA hasn't told me anything specific. I may try to go around him and talk to someone else at the dealership if I don't get an answer soon.

I'll definitely post some pics when I get the car and the weather clears up around here.

Speaking of insurance, I need to find a new company. My rate skyrocketed.

I would ask to speak to the sales manager if I were you.

Versus what?

I have 2 cars now, both are Mustangs with minimal safety features, and one is 450 HP. I'm curious if taking them both off and going to one BMW (335i) will be more or less. It's more expensive, but it also has less power, more safety, and will only be one car.

Both of them right now are about $140 a month I think.

Yeah, I was fully expecting my insurance to jump but not as much as it did. Thankfully, I don't have any violations, etc to really screw me over.

I was in the low 100s with my Jetta. Supposedly, it's going up to about $350/month for the BMW.

I was expecting it to be somewhere in the 200s. This was all on my parent's insurance where I wasn't the primary driver. It was easier to do than finding a new company because our home owner's insurance is all tied in as well.

But now that I own the car and I'm the primary driver, I need to find a better company.

Good question. I would call your insurance agent to get a quote!

The main problem seems to be the price of the car and my age. A $50,000 car with 300 HP at 22 (23 in a few months) is quite a combination.

Yeah, I suppose so. My two cars now are only about $30,000 combined, and both are at least 5 years old. Hopefully since I'll be 24 this year my age will start helping. I think I may give them a call at lunch to see what they tell me.

Hmm... they think it's going to cost me about $70 a month.

It's good having an insurance company who my parents have been with for as long as I remember, as well as having never been pulled over and having no accidents on the list.
