Argh! This is taking too long. 6+ weeks to make/ship...bleh.

In any event at least I got to see where my X5 was being made. I did the facotry tour in Spartanburg, SC while in Greenburg for training. The Zentrum "museum" was laughable (walked through it in 5 minutes) but the factory was pretty neat to see how just-in-time inventory works, robotics, painting, etc. I did get to see several completed X5's and kept staring at the larger tires/wheels (20s). Tempting but decided to stick with the 19s due to Seattles famous inclement weather.

Still looking at a mid-June delivery time. In the meantime, anyone interested in purchasing a 2004 H6 VDC Subaru Outback?
