I placed an order for a 2017 GT350 Magnetic convenience package OTT stripe with black roof on 04/28/2016. I had expected to get the car some time in September or October. Everything happened so fast. Two weeks after ordering, I got a VIN number. Shortly after that, I got a "build to week" then a "build day" then the window sticker. It was like a dream. Then, today 07/12/2016, it became reality! :D
My baby arrived and I was there to greet her.:cheers:

I guess you can say I stalked my car. here's what I did: I checked on the build status weekly. When my "build date" arrived, I checked with FP and was told that my car was sitting at ramp 51 :lol: waiting for shipping. Then, I called my dealer and found out that Cassen Transport was the trucking company transporting it. With that info, I went on Cassen's web site and plugged in my VIN and dealer code to get status on car. Once it showed that my car was picked up and moving, I called Cassen and asked for the current location of the truck. I also asked for the load # of the truck, which will tell me all the cars for that load and where it's destined for. Then, I just follow the truck, and slowly I see each delivery completed, which will give me an idea of when my car would arrive. So, today, I went to the dealer and camped out all day :lol: It paid off because I saw the truck pull up and my car rolled off.

Congratulations on your car btw! :cheers:

It's a beauty! The magnetic looks great on the 350. The dealer called today and hopefully I can pick up my 2017 on Friday. Ordered mine on 5/5/16 and it was built on 6/20/16.

Outstanding! Why can't they pump them R's out that fast?
