Building them is not the problem, it's the DELIVERY system that is terrible. See my post in the ordering thread.

However, since you are in El Cajon, you'll probably get yours before I get mine, at the rate mine is coming. I could have WALKED from Mexico faster than this.

Hey, I've got an idea! Let's see if they'll do a factory delivery like Harley or Chev/Corvette does. We can all meet in Laredo, rent a PSD one-way to Saltillo (it'll break down by then anyway ), pick up our trucks at the factory and break 'em in on the the way home. I'll bet you would beat the trains/boats back home . . .

Best idea I've heard yet.

Interesting item for So. Calif buyers.

I was browsing thru the insight orders for my dealer to see if they had any other 3500s coming in. All were D1 like mine except one which was KZ which is "plant release" meaning (I guess) that it's ready to load on a railcar. The interesting thing is that the ETA to dealer is exactly 20 days from the time it reached KZ.

If this is typical, then I suppose I have nothing to worry about regarding the Farm Bureau rebate. Now I'm back to being anxious to receive it before fishing season . . . as Charlie Brown would say, "GOOD GRIEF!"
