Hey Girl why all the negativity????? } }
I want it BAD!

Patience is not a virtue which I enjoy. It will get here soon, I know, but I'm really itching to have it home with me. How are you coping? You seem so calm!

>( Calm is not a word of which I am familar with!!! I have kicked the cats, thrown SHMBO out and generally been a pain in the a$$ to everybody. My feeling on this is that I could have walked to Toluca got my cruiser and been home doing mods and cruising by now, so now matter what kind of front I put on I am like you a mental wreck. Hang in there, very soon very soon very soon By the way congratulations to Hubby on passing his test

Hang on! Your cruiser will be there soon. Mellow, Mellow, Mellow,....Center yourself now. It is a tough wait, but don't kill anyone. I can hardly wait to see you on the roads!

(I won't EVEN go into what that icon up there looks like. Is it supposed to be an exclamation?)

So be honest with me. How many have died waiting for their PT?
How many have died of boredom watching others grump about waiting for their PT?

I have heard of no "cruiser wait" related deaths, but maybe a a few near death experiences. I did not have to wait for my car-I have a friend who is a dealer and he knew I wanted a PT from the time the pronto was first displayed. He let me buy the only cruiser the dealership got in (base with light group). He then gave me a great deal on my upgrade to a limited edition when he got one in. My first PT came home 4-4-00 and my limited drove up 1-8-01. I love my car!

We are here to support you during this difficult pre-owner time. Many of us went exactly through the same thing.

Suggestions on what to do to pass the time and stay sane:

1. Plan route, music, etc for that all important first cruise.
2. Clean garage.
3. Purchase first customization
4. Read every PTE post by Pars
5. Read every post by PT_Sean

Okay, those last two won't keep you sane but they should give you a nice PT buzz. The important thing is that your very own Cruiser is on its way to you! And it is well worth the wait!

Sheena are you all right haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you haven't had a stroke or anything drastic happen.Drop a line and let us know what's going on. Mine is still in Benicia CA waiting for a truck ride to Dinuba to the Dealer, talked to salesman Friday and he says by next Friday, can't figure out why it has to sit for two weeks up there before they can transport it, don't figure. More coffee, Valium and Prozac.

Sheena and Reo, as much as I'm interested in seeing both of you get your Cruisers as soon as possible, I think I'm going to have to stop reading this topic until I see you both start a new one entitled, "IT'S HERE!" Reading this is making me feel so much anxiety, I can hardly stand it. I guess that's why it's probably best that I bought mine off the lot - my tolerance for stress and my ability to exercise patience just aren't great enough to hang in there for the duration!!! Sending mental Prozac and Valium to you both as you endure the wait - and waiting to hear that you both have your Cruisers safely at home!!!

..I'm fine.
...I'm coping.
....I'm a nervous wreck!

We had a bad storm in the area last night and all I could think of was the PT sitting out in the middle of a railyard being pummeled by hail.

I found an interesting way to keep busy: trying to figure out how many miles we will drive before we get her. I've been playing, "I'll put 5 gallons of gas in this car. That should be enough to last until the PT arrives." I don't want to trade in a full tank of gas, don'cha-know!

Thanks for the medication and the support I think we both need it
