Freedom ace has landed at the Port of New Jersey. I wonder how long before it gets to Long Island?

Don’t draw attention. They’ll use your car to pick up lunch. When you take delivery it’s going to smell like Taco Bell.

Are the cars going straight to dealers or are they being held at the port in NJ?

They are at the VPC (Vehicle Processing Center) where they are inspected, cleaned, and repaired if need be, add manuals, print window sticker and attach and such. The address is 20 Colony Road, Jersey City, NJ.

Anyone else seen the progress tracker backtrack one step? Mine has just changed from "In transit" back to "At the port". A glitch in the Matrix?

Haven’t seen that. Maybe the boat sank but your car swam to shore?

Mind did that as well after my car hit the ground in NJ. Seems to be a quirk, there should really be another "arrived at destination port" step instead of reverting to an earlier step. Gave me a brief heart attack.

One site (myshipttacking.com) says ETA for NOCC Oceanic is now 4/5 instead of 4/8. Fingers crossed.

I suspect it’s on one of the boats that left on 4/1...

Found her... I think my car was loaded yesterday! Straight route to Baltimore (sheesh Glovis is a Hyundai subsidiary!!)

Has anybody's M340 been delivered to their dealer yet? Mine arrives at the port tomorrow. I'm curious when they will release it to the dealer.
