Picking mine up tomorrow

Not Wisconsin but how about Minnesota. I'm getting picked up by my sales manager tomorrow morning and riding in with him to Saturn White Bear Lake to get my midnight blue/tan baby. I haven't seen one on the streets of the twin cities yet. Suppose to be sunny and 75 tomorrow so the top should be down. Probably won't want to drive the race car tomorrow night after i've been in the Sky.LOL

I have a deposit in with my dealer, and he says I should be able to order and receive my SKY by the end of August; I guess that leaves about two weeks for top down driving in Wisconsin.:banghead: Oh well.

nicely done race doc. Minnesota sees about as much summer as does Wisconsin; enjoy the car.

I was wrong

I drove the racecar tonight and i'm sorry but it's still a lot more fun than even the new Sky. 410 hp vs. 177, no comparison. Now if I had wrecked tonight I might be thinking differently. I do love the sky though even though I only drove it about 10 miles so far.

I am from The Fox Cities (Appleton) Wisconsin. I have not seen a Sky yet, but plenty of Solsitce's. I am first on the waiting list for the Redline in Wisconsin. It is still going to be a long wait though.

Bentley...any word on your Sky delivery yet? I'm curious, because my Sky was built the week of 5/22 and I haven't heard a peep out of my dealer yet. When was yours built?

last i heard from dealer was last thurday and he said it was in transit (not sure what he means ) but i got ahold of a very nice guy at CSRX rail line and he said it is still sitting at the plant but it could be on a car carrier being sent to their rail line and he said he would keep an eye on it and let me know when it comes up on their system. he also said he knows a women at the rail line in wilmington that he might be able to have her expidite it and get it bumped up and put on the car faster but until it gets on a rail car he can't do anything. the dealership said it should be at their dealership in about 10-12 days and that would be the week of the 19th. and i also talke to a guy at U. P and he said as soon as i knew it was on the way let him know and he would check on it for me. ( i told them it was an aniversery present for hubby NOT!!! and we were planing a surprise for him on 6-25-06 and i was just checking because time was runing out (am i bad or what) hey we have to do what we can to get past some of the red tape.

. mine was built on 06-06-06

Hmmm...sounds like both of ours might be riding on the same train headed this way....I hope, I hope, I hope!

Do you think your 'contacts' at the railyards might be able to look mine up if I gave you my VIN#?

I live in Milwaukee area but went through Saturn of Appleton after calling around. From what I can see, it looks like you have to "hit it right" in calling a dealer and getting into their allocation list. Looks like you did well.

We might be in the Elkhart Lake area (The Osthoff resort) in August. So there will be one Illinois Sky in Wisc!:cheers:

Rick...that's a beautiful area over there in Elkhart Lake. A close friend of mine has parents that live in a house right along the shoreline directly across the lake from The Osthoff. I've never stayed at The Osthoff, but have heard it's very nice. :thumbs:

Oh it is -- we've stayed there the last 2-3 years for 2-3 nights each. Very nice. Reminds us of being on a ship, the service is that good.
I have a feeling though we will end up in Traverse City -- it has been a couple of years and we only have $$ for one trip (darned new car!!)

The Osthoff is a nice place, somewhat out of the way, I stayed there for a conference a couple of years ago; but it would be much nicer to stay there driving a Sky! :thumbs:
