I was told that my car cleared Customs on 8/10, yet only was received by the VPC on 8/15? What happened in those 5 days? Are Ferris Bueller's parking garage attendants there?

Weekend.

That's some long weekend, or long trip. Same experience for me.

.... would you believe that your car isn't the only one that cleared the Custom :p

Also, your car takes a back seat to US delivery cars... you know.. the cars that needs to get to dealer so they can be sold and cash-in... ;)

Relax pal, it will all be over before you know it. Go enjoy the weekend and quit counting the daze...

The mule that pulls the cars from customs to VPC decided to take a rest.

Five days from docking to VPC; you were one of the lucky ones.

It was five days from clearing customs to the VPC, 11 days from docking. But judging by some other posts that I'm reading I am still fairly lucky. We're all lucky frankly to be able to drive BMWs.
