West coast strike affecting East Coast Deliveries?
I'm expecting in November, I was told by my dealer it's possible the car is on a boat, and the west coast stike could be affecting them, but I live in Virginia. And most cars come through Newport, but my dealer said not all..
So anyone here know if this west coast strike is affecting our deliveries? And do the 350Z's for east coast also port on westcoast and driven here on a truck or something?

It should have no effect what so ever. Different ships are used for each coast. The only possibility would be if the ships get delayed loading in Japan due to the schedule changes caused by the lock-out (unlikely though).

The ships for the east coast come through the panama canal. The only way they will be slowed down is in production but there will not be any type of major slowdown for the east coast.

Hey I live in Fairfax, VA but I pre-ordered mine down in Harrisonburg Nissan because they are selling at MSRP. Anyways, If you live on the East coast, your Z will be coming in at either New Port News,VA - Elizabeth Port, NJ - or - the Norfolk Port. The West Coast strike does not effect us on the East coast, thats their problem not ours,j/k. But dont worry, if they built it, it will come...

I took over a cancellation from Tri-State nissan in Winchester, and the orginal order was placed in May sometime, order number is W180127, no VIN yet, and told my delivery would be in sometime in November. Kinda getting furious with my dealer, plus they tell me they are putting a front license plate holder because it's the LAW.. yet I NEVER seen a corvette with one?
