Want info? Ask a Z owner!!!
To all my future RX-8 victims, 
your cars are on the way.
I’m tracking the VIN (2086) of a friend who has an RX- 8 on order. He received his VIN last month. I found a few other VIN’s in another thread and checked them too. As you can see the cars are starting to move.
I’ll be tracking my friend’s until delivery (about two weeks) so if you received you VIN, send it to me and I’ll add it to the query. I check about 2 or 3 times a day.
I went though the same thing as you guys last fall waiting for my Z so I feel your pain.

Score! I was going to ask you to check mine, but I noticed the screenshot you have is for a car bound for Dartmouth NS, which is where I am and where my car is bound. So, I have to believe my car is on the same train.

CAUTION
...just another word of warning about writing your complete VIN number in public: the unscrupulous CAN go to a dealership and get a key cut with the right microchips in it, if you know what i mean. please, use discresion (ie, PM's at minimum)

Hey is VIN posting a good idea?
wakeech,
I agree- I've been watching our southern cousins (AKA USA) with a bit of incredulosity while they post their VINs to the forum. I ask myself. Would you post your newborn baby's SIN (Social Insurance Number) on the internet ??? I do not think its a good idea!!! NO!! That is somehow inherently stupid. The VIN is to the car as a SIN is to a person- With that number, a lot of malicious can potentially go down- like someone getting a loan with your car as collateral, insurance fraud, etc. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but something to consider if you are considering positing your VIN for some reason.

I meant I'll be waiting for you guys at every red light :D
BTW IMHO if someone wants a VIN he just walks up to the car in a driveway and reads it and then does whatever he wants. I might be wrong but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Hey Pooch,
Do you know if there is any Rx-8 for Quebec City on rail right now?? My lease end on the 28th and my vacation starts on the 26th... still hoping to get my RX-8 by that time!
Hope to see you at the corner of Charest and St-Sacrement... nice drag strip :D
