Hit-By-Thunder

iteresting I guess we are #945 and still waiting Hey Keith, just seen your signiture but the train ran out of water I think (old steamer chugging reeeeeeeeeeeeeealy slow") hey Rob

I'll drink to that Jack :rolleyes: Rob

Hey Seth, I knew of one on a lot with the Nav but when I went to see it (dealership was closed at the time) the Journey had no Nav. I have checked a bunch of dealers around here and none have had the Nav system. I know it was an issue and delayed my order but only by a week or so. I ordered March 14th and I had a Firm ship date as April 23rd also my order was Cleared with no issues with the build. That is all I know for now. I have to stop by tomorrow night after work for an update on the order. I e-mailed the salesman "Dude, where's my car?" and also reminded him it has been 14 days since my last update, I always stop by but left after an hour of waiting with no acknowledgement that I was even there I did find this out today, I go by the dealership every morning before they open on my way to work and seen in a new Journey that was dropped off overnight. Shipped Via Toluca Rail Mexico to Laredo Texas, Laredo to Chicago Ill. via Union Pacific . Chicago to Edmonton Via CP Rail. There was 4 journeys on that shipment but not one was ours All the base models with a couple of options. Rob

yup, my van is acting up too. Maybe they don't want to be "put out to pasture" just yet. Man that sucks but the brighter side is, at least it didn't leave you stranded or better yet, tow it home when it is useless. I hear ya on the Order thingy though. I e-mailed my salesman and he replied tonight saying he is not in tomorrow and to check back Wednesday night. That is like 16 days without any news. The last thing I heard was the Journey was being shipped April 23rd,.... DUDE, WHERE THE F$%^ IS MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rob

You know I would be doing the same thing if our Journey was in, but it just makes it that much harder when everyone is getting theirs and some of us are still waiting, oh well Rob

you know I would be doing the same if the Journey was here. It just makes it that much harder when everyone is getting theirs and some of us are still waiting. Rob

ya I hear ya on the trannies in these vans. This one has 221000KM's on it and it is way past due for a blown one. The van is VERY reliable, til now as for the Journey I am stopping by the dealership Wednesday Night after work, he is "looking" for my car :rolleyes: Rob

well took the battery out of the 93 caravan. It made it's last trip to the lake and back and on the way back (425km round trip) developed a weird noise right under the driver's door. Almost sounds like a flap of rubber coming up and smacking the underside of the door/floorpan. Started to stumble on take offs and the tranny is shifting worse. The tranny shifts great but at times, it is like on a menstrual cycle <----no offence to anys girls/ladies/females here at all. Time to park it or give it away. Too bad as it runs perfect and had next to new tires on it. for those who don't know the Journey is replacing this van and by the sounds of things, just in time too Rob

Hey Larryl, thanks for the real world impressions. I always want to hear from you guys as to what makes or breaks the car. Good on ya mate Rob
