So far, this is what we got! It will most likely be held on a Sunday in the early afternoon timeframe here at the dealership. We are closed, there will be no salesmen (other than myself) so it won't be a pressure type of ordeal. We are planning on moving out enough vehicles as to have ample parking so that there are no door ding issues (can't have damage on our lot!! LOL). Still working on details but what I am shooting for is some give away stuff (no idea yet, sorry no answer here for ya ProToolsKid) and I'm trying to get some sort of snack type food catered and I'm sure we'll have iced bottled water available as we do every Saturday anyways. If you are a non owner and want to come for an information day thats great, please note, we can not talk price or close a deal on Sunday (laws of Houston??). But I will be here with other owners to answer as many questions as you can throw at us. It will be sometime after nationals and even though it's a Houston meet, it would be great to have attendees from elsewhere as well. Please keep suggestions coming. Thank you for all that I have gotten so far.

Hmm which Sunday is this and time/place?

At that time ill be working 3rd shift so day is open but unfortunately I called Joe Myers last night and my car hasn't gotten to port yet so they don't have a specific date fer me :/

Though my brother bought his off the lot so ill let him know the info...

I haven't seen a titanium grey one in person (even though I ordered mine that color) so hopefully someone has one of those?

And also, about how long after it hits port should I expect it?

Thumbs up Houston Meet

My 8 is expected in next week and I would like to participate. Pretty much any Sunday afternoon is fine with the exception of September 14th.

My build date was July 7th and it delivered to port on August 8th. Still have not received it due to the port options. The CD Changer and spoiler have been installed, waiting on the appearance package. Delivery is expected next week, approximately 4 weeks after it arrived at port.

Some vehicles move through the Houston port much faster, it all depends on the options you have.
