To quote my dealer after our last conversation:
ME: "When does my car arrive?"
DEALER: "Good news Lillie, you've been upgraded from SEE status to HFO status."
ME: "Would you care to share what that means?"
DEALER: "You shall have your car shortly after hell freezes over, but at least you'll have it before the sun engulfs the earth."
So, ummmm, still DOOMED!
Sounds like Nick.
Dealer: No updates on your car since being told that it was in build in early August.
Me: What about the weekly updates that Lotus sends you?
Dealer: Hahahahahahahaha [nearly chokes to death from uncontrollable laughter]
Me: So, when might my car arrive?
Dealer: We will call when it arrives at the port.
These days, my friends only ask once "So, where's your car". After my invective filled tirade about delays, price increases and lack of communication, they quickly withdraw with "So, let me know when it gets here".
