Feb 25, 2010, that’s when Sven the Volvo XC60 is supposed to arrive. Arrive in Boise, at Lyle Pearson Volvo.
But that’s just an approximate date, as once it leaves the container ship, it’s in the trucking company’s hands and apparently, anything can happen then. Its somehow no longer trackable? Kind of unclear…
Sven is on a long trip. He left the Port of Gothenburg on Jan 21, and is on his 3-week salt-bath voyage across the Atlantic, down through the Panama Canal and back up the Pacific to Port Hueneme, CA where he’ll drive onto the sweet, solid ground of good ol’ California on Feb 15. The container ship company will call [someone] to tell them that the car has been released to the trucking company. Then they’ll brush their hands off and walk away, laughing. Sven will then get on that untrackable truck and disappear for 10 days or so before suddenly reappearing in Boise, ID on Feb 25. Or somewhere thereabouts.
I can’t wait! My Audi keeps reminding me, (literally, a little message comes up when you start it up) that a major maintenance milestone is coming up – one that’s about $1000, just like everything else. Man, I can’t wait for that 5 years of maintenance included – as part of the Safe and Sound program…
Thanks again for reading, stay tuned for a few more updates.
