Thanks,
Chad

We were all stock at some point. Welcome.

The order may not take long but it'll seem like forever. I know I couldn't wait and it only took 1 day...

Ok Ladies and gentlemen i have an update....I just got off the phone with the Manager at Dublin Toyota and he said he couldnt find one locally that i could pick up so he had to order it. I asked him how long it usually takes and he said 3 weeks....Any idea on where the car will be coming from I live here in the Bay Area and i am curious is it coming from Japan? How many miles will be on and such forth... I am wondering if anyone has gone through the pain i have...LOL....This will be the longest 3 weeks of my live...

Thanks,
C-MiLL

Congrats on your new scion! It's going to be a long 3 weeks, but while your waiting you should start putting together a mod list of diy projects and cool stuff to buy. Thats what I did, but I only had to wait a week and that was long enough! See you at a meet soon.

They roll off the boat in Benicia. You will have about 6 miles on it when you get it--just enough to get off the boat and on and off trucks.....
