Default Newport News Cars

If you have a car arriving around the "first week of Sept" and you live in the VA, NC regions...time to get excited. These 248 cars finished unloading around 1pm yesterday. THAT one is mine, I have a zoom of the VIN also. I sent J a few more pictures so that he can post them however best.

Almost here!

Thought I would add this picture...shows the boat, and a nice comparison of the silverstone and chrome silver.

Are you ready!

How long do the cars stay at NNMT before trucking/training?

They have to wait to clear customs and install options, but I think as soon as we know the JAX cars are on trucks we will have a good idea of how long from unload of ship to trucking, the JAX cars arrived Monday. The only thing is I don't know if the weekend would affect things up there specially if customs is involved but I would assume all ports would be 7 days a week operations.

Very cool photos. No doubt you had a hookup to get that close to the boat. Hopefully I'll have some shots of the cars coming off in Newark tomorrow...

NJ Z owners, give me a hell yeah. Our day is almost here.

I call this photo "garage heaven".
And actually, I did not take this photo. One of the guys working at the company who unloaded the Z did. I feel INCREDIBLY better about how our cars are handled after talking with this guy. He had a ton of respect for the cars and how they were treated. He said all the employee handled them with kid gloves...NO revving, not one scratch. I was VERY impressed and happy with nissan for choosing them.

Good luck to all those who have or will soon to be getting their new cars.

In the garage pic the one in the front on the end looks like it could be a Track (rays) and possibly a Brickyard....So since mine is due into Newport News around this time it MUST be mine!!!

(Yeah yeah, I know, it could be black, it could be non-track with Rays.....you can let me dream can't you???)

I think they are backing your car up in this one. (j/k but it does look like a brickyard)

Look closer at the "garage", this is actually the hold of the ship. Cool!
