Janet and I are off to see the wizards completing our Lightweight.

Staying at the recommended Hilton Tuesday and 1:00 Wednesday tour with Pearce.

Pretty excited but I'm thinking he's done so many it must be getting a wee bit mundane for him. We however are pretty excited.

It will be my first visit to a customer where I spent more with them than they with me. Role reversal at it's finest.

Any advice on a decent dinner place nearby?

I recommend the hotel we stayed at in Toronto: The Adelaide Hotel downtown. Lot's of great restaurants within walking distance or short Uber. We used Uber to get to Multimatic which was 20 miles away. Toronto is a very cool city while Markham is a suburb & industrial area. Toronto is much closer to the airport also.

if you are looking for Italian. Sotto Sotto on university Ave is best Italian rest in the city. Probably need to make reservations.

We ate at Sotto Sotto! Excellent food & service! Close to The Adelaide Hotel where we stayed! We also liked Lee on King St W. You have to try their 19-ingredient Signature Singaporean-style Slaw.

PS Don't stay in Markham.

Thanks for the advice and recommendations guys. We are going next week for a tour and staying at the Ritz Carlton in Toronto. Hopefully see K021 being built. That is the plan!

Crazy cold and windy. Put the Navi on autopilot and took a nap.

Will that be on the line yet? Is your build date confirmed? They pretty much build them and ship them, not a lot of storage room.

Correct, VINs are random, for example, mine is K029 and gets delivered in three days, yet it’s a later number than the subject of this thread which is still under construction.

And unfortunately they will not tell you your "rotation number" (in 05-06 speak), which would be your place on the assembly line (or at least at the beginning of it). Well at least they would not tell me, and I asked several times.

Do you mean how many 2019 Carbon Edition (CE) cars until Dec 31? Or how many 2019 CE cars will be built? Probably around 50.

Did you offer any 'consideration'?? :lol

I think the Texas guys get preference!
