So you're finally taking delivery of your BTO X5...
Its been a very, very long 4 wks, 3 days and 2 hrs since you placed the order for the factory to build your new X5. During which, you've consoled yourself with so much beer, that the local glass recycling center added an extra bin*. But your dealer has finally agreed that if you behave sensibly (i.e. bring wads of money) you will be allowed to take your new X5 home with you tomorrow.

Since it's been a little warm (usually over 100F) every day for over 3 months, you opt for an inside delivery. This will give you a chance to go over the basics like: is it the right color?, does it have all four wheels/tires?, etc.. Then take your time, in air conditioned comfort, getting to know your new X5 better and reviewing in detail the options you ordered. Seeing you arrive with a clipboard, camera and white gloves will make your SA sooo happy

* at least they didn't put up a memorial plaque in your honor.

Tomorrow?! Mine was built a day before yours but I'll get it two weeks later. Hello BMW, us Northwesterners need BMWs too for crying out loud.

Yeah my SA says the truck that delivered our X5 was on its way out NW using the scenic routes. The driver said something about stopping for a few days in Vegas, 'cause he had plenty of collateral for chips

Ha bloody ha. It's not nice to tease. You know firsthand the emotions that I am going through waiting for my auto to arrive.

Oh right. emotions like: anxiety, frustration, anger, helplessness, panic attacks,.... I'd go on but I don't know whether you have any sharp objects at hand So, I recommend chilling out by going to a movie --- The Hangover comes to mind

BTW don't worry about the vintage Mercedes. Its not a BMW

Good advice, but I have seen it twice already and my X5 is still not here. So now what?

And I'm not taking my SA any Italian pastries or wearing a short skirt just to speed things up either
