A whole bunch just showed up today. BUT theres a LOT more that haven't been put in yet. I think it's been left up to the specific regions to assign them to their dealers so once they do, they'll show up in our reports. For example, it looks like NY has done theres and so has WA. NY, interestingly enough, was all assigned to one dealer. I'm guessing that's just going to be a staging ground that they're all going to but will later be dispersed to the rest. I expect many more states to have their dealer cars show up soon.

How can I tell which VIN matches a rail car? Since I have to open the .xls file in Microsoft Works, is there something missing from what I can see?

I don't see where someone can tell if their VIN has shipped when VINs aren't on the spreadsheet I'm looking at.

Thanks!

Can you help me find this one. Dealer says it should have been here by now.

Thanks!

The column all the way over to the left is the column for VINs. It's not the whole number, though. Just the last 8 digits.

Your car is most likely with the rest of the early builds getting a reflashed or new computer and possible some door panels installed that weren't available when they built it..............welcome to the wait!

Your dealer sounds like my dealer..........they can't track cars from their dealership. All they go by is typical shipping times on previous cars and when they hit the lot, they're there. Great way to operate. They told me yesterday that my car was "en route". This was from their regional manager. Although in reality, it's not.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll wait like everyone else.

Thanks, that was a big "DUH", sorry for asking...I should have noticed that!
I had tunnel vision expecting so see the lower numbers somewhere.

I didn't want a low VIN as much as I wanted an early car, so I'm a little bit bummed that I'm not driving my 5th gen already, and the later cars are being delivered already. Of course I'm glad my car will have been gone over with a fine-toothed comb, but...

Bell040 · 04-19-2009, 04:05 PM

is the speadsheet being updated?

I just sent the updated spreadsheet to UCF so I am sure it will be posted soon. There are now 358 VIN's on the spreadsheet.

Some of the railcars are now showing as empty so I have highlighted those in red. I am not postive, but I am pretty sure the VIN's on these cars have been delivered to the autoramp at their destination.

Hopefully everyone's VIN's start showing up!

jiffy_jeremy · 04-19-2009, 06:32 PM

This is so very cool.

Can you add mine to the list? It should be showing up now, got the VIN number on the 15th, they had to add the GGM stripes, so not sure how long before it's in a rail car.

Thanks for the info and work, makes the wait just that much more bareable.
