East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

[CivicR38]

Oh yes, I just casually video called my parents and went outside pretending to show them the clear sky and how it was going to snow at night. They asked me why my CR-V was outside the garage if it was going to snow and then I turned and opened the garage saying, "because this is in the garage", with the Type R standing facing outwards in the garage, as the garage doors opened. That moment alone was worth it for me, with mixed emotions of joy, shock, awe, and pride that their son finally bought his first new car and not just any car, but the HONDA CIVIC TYPE R!

(Those who are wondering what just happened, I never told my parents about buying the Type R, they just had an idea that I really liked this car. Wanted to surprise them, as buying any car in India is a big deal, let alone an expensive one like the Type R. Most 23 year old kids don't buy cars in India, at least not from their own money, and the fact that I just called 23 year olds, kids, just goes to show that I am still considered a kid back home. So a "kid" buying his first car is a big deal and I just made it even better by completely surprising my parents with getting my "attainable dream car" as my first new car.)


Thanks to all of you who helped me in this journey! I'll post more pictures once I get off my weekly shift. For now, I just got back from work, and this is what I clicked:

Enjoy the car my friend!

Damn, looks clean. Congrats dude!!!

Fellow Indian here. I have a very similar story when got my CW FK8 back in 2020 (except I wasn't 23 lol. More like 27) and can totally relate to car affordability and cultural stuff in India.

Super happy for you!!

For the VIN ending in 1155, your ETA is 2/28-3/03

Nothing pops up for the other VIN yet.

They called me today saying the car is in Chicago and is showing an ETA of 2/24-3/28.
If the car arrives 2/24 I can pick it up this Saturday!

VIN Etas only ever span a 7 day period, never a month so if the first day of the ETA is 2/28 the March 7th would be the last day.
Barring any delays of course.

I hope you get it this weekend

Typo on my end: ETA of 2/24-2/28 is what they told me.
Wonder if the ETA is actually 2/28-3/03 like you told me and they're just blowing smoke.

My car is on that same train lol.

It took a really southward direction. I wonder if the events in Palestine Ohio have anything to do with it. To be fair I never paid so much attention to an incoming unit.

Are you getting that info from your salesman or do you have other means to track the train?
