Frustration: Parts Availability

Frustration: Parts Availability
Ok, I don't know what other horror stories everybody has, but the parts availability on these cars is lack luster at best. This is not 100% a complaint since I should know better for being the first to buy a car, but this car seems like the king of pushed back dates.
Right now I am waiting on the security system and spoiler, the dealer promised to give me a free loaner when it comes in, so not the biggest of deals, although I checked and it was pushed back yet another month.
The kicker though is I destroyed a tire when I couldn't pull over right away after getting a flat, $213, and 3 days to get here to get a replacement. Although looking at the only low profile doughnut I have ever seen is fun, it doesn't make my 50 mile commute very fun not being able to go over 55 mph, so the car is in the garage waiting for it's wheel.
Make me feel better in knowing I am not alone, what parts/options are you waiting for?

i was waiting for the car itself but got fed up and bought a color that wasn't my fav but it has alotta options installed (lip spoiler, 6disc, mats, rear applique and sill guards, mud guards and wheel locks) that kinda make up for it... my advice would be to shop around but i haven't ran into any problems yet

Tell me about it. Since I picked up my car its had a bunch of broken parts, and the dealer ordered them to fix the car. They are still on backorder with no sign of them. Atleast you guys are just waiting on upgrades and not parts to fix your car.
