    Well what's your friend's delivery date? Best thing is to contact BMW directly. I don't think they would have that kind of information through the news.

    They were BMWs? All I heard on the radio this morning was that they were "luxury cars."

    Volvo dealer in Broward told a friend of mine today that his wife's car *might* be on the ship. I had ordered the same car for my wife, but we haven't yet spoken to our dealer here in Dade County. If it is true for him, it is probably true for me, too. Who would've thought?

    Spoke to my Volvo dealer today. My wife's car wasn't on the ship, so all is well. They only had one customer's car on that particular boat.

    My friend, who ordered from a different Volvo dealer, appears to have not been so lucky . . .
