OMFG it's arrived at the dealership!

Beautiful! Almost same as mine, Only thing I have different is no black roof, and silver wheels.

Did your car arrive on the 7/4 boat or did it leave England on 7/4? If it left England on the 4th how did you find out what ship it was on?

I have not found what ship it is on. My understanding from @Nova's tracker (and I could be wrong), is the ship date is when it left the port in the UK - the specific ship and arrival port information is not known to me.

Nova's chart is unloading in Baltimore.

This is that one car that sailed over on a solo trip? How big of a VIP are you to pull that off?

It’s right up there with ‘shortly’.

These have been pen feds rate for a little while. The 4.X rates are from navy federal(but you have to have someone in the armed services to be able to join)

Looks like PenFed is at 5.XX% but they take 7-10 business days to issue a check... That's kinda slow.

I got a Navy Federal account and have good credit (780) but they still quoted 8%. They couldn't tell me why it what factors could be approved.

Unless you live near a branch where you can get a check in person. Thats what I did.

Can anyone advise what I need to do to setup the Scorpion Tracker that I purchased with my Emira...in the USA?

For context, I tried following the included instructions, scanned the QR code, installed the app (Android), but it appears that the dealer was supposed to provide login credentials and they didn't. I've left messages for the dealer - Tony @GatorMotorsport but haven't heard back. Is there a way I can do this without relying on the dealer?

As far as I know, the dealer does have a part to play in activation.

Anyone getting lots of recognition for their Emiras from Motorcyclists?
My wife and I have both ridden motorcycles since we were teenagers and on our way back from lunch a guy on a motorcycle gave me a signal of recognition. That's normally something motorcyclists do to each other as a greeting to a fellow enthusiast. So my wife asked why he did that and I told her that I'd been getting lots of recognition, thumbs up, etc. from motorcyclists.
Anybody else experience this? I assume it's just their way of saying "Cool Car!" as one motorsport enthusiast to another.

Yes. Bit of a hoot to have one charge up an adjacent lane, pull alongside to gaze for a bit to take all the design in and then lunge forward with big thumbs up as they accelerate.
You didn't mention how they sit higher than the Emira, providing a good viewing perch.
A win for me in a way. ......
Side story: First ride on a motorcycle as a teen (passenger) was hit by a car and kissed 75 feet of pavement. Swore I'd always have 4 wheels under me.
Low and wide led later in life to the Esprit and its descendent.

I like speed but motorcycles scare me. I wouldn’t trust myself or others on the road when riding one. Hell of a performance bargain though.

I've been getting thumbs up from both cars and motorcycles, including one biker who zipped between cars on the highway to catch up and just to get a better look at the Emira! Overall reactions on the road have been amazing, waaaaay more than I ever expected!
