Anyone else on the vessel Prime Ace?
Misery loves company - was just wondering if anyone else is suffering the same interminable shipping experience that I am....
After watching my car's ship drift aimlessly outside of port Zeebrugge for the last 24hrs before heading for port, and watching the schedule slide a day later for Bremerhaven, I'm assuming the May 21st date estimate for Charleston will also slide a day as well.

I know how frustrating it can be lol, but it'll all be worth it once you head on over to pick it up. I am starting to believe that only the people that ordered an xdrive automatic got on the Martorell (maybe that's all she's carrying?). Being that you went with a Manual it might also have something to do with the ship you get. you went with PCD right?

Then off to Bremerhaven for a similarly long (2-3 day) wait, and hopefully then a turn towards the USA. And then 2 weeks of being off radar (which might actually be easier for me - just black box, no info). I think I would have been better off had they told me the car would take 3 months to manufacture and 2 weeks to ship instead of 2 weeks to build and 3 months to transport to PCD!

yeah the wait time sucks but honestly if my CA didn't tell me anything i'd probably go more insane. The ship being off radar is actually the worst for me right now, to each their own I guess. might start watching a new tv series or something to take my mind off of checking every moment for where the ship is. On a different note, you plan on doing any mods to it once you have it?

I put a turbo-back exhaust on my last car and the drone nearly drove me insane, so I probably won't do that again, so the MPPK may not be an option as it sounds pretty loud from all the videos. What about you?

I'm quite happy with the stock exhaust sound as is. I don't necessarily see the worth in dumping 1500+ for a better exhaust. that and the constant drone I would hear on the highway would be a big negative for me.
