If anyone wants to line up some Mach Es for a photo, we'll be at Rocket Frog Brewing in Sterling Saturday afternoon.

For Valentine's Day, my wife are doing a beer and chocolate paring from Rocket Frog. Because of COVID we really don't want to spend a bunch of time inside a small brewery tasting room, so we are picking it up to go. Our plan is to leave MD once her meeting ends Saturday, getting to Sterling about 1:30. Current plan is to meet some friends for lunch, then go to Rocket Frog. Probably be getting to Rocket Frog about 2:30 or 3:00.

If you don't know Rocket Frog, they are well worth trying. Very good microbrewery with a nice tasting room. Pre-COVID they used to get food trucks, too. Probably will again once it's warm enough for outdoor seating.

Congrats!!! Happy to see more and more deliveries in the area.

Was there by any chance the dealer unit or any additional Mach-E's available for a test drive?
Sorry, no to both. I'll ask if they know when they are getting more, but I know the answer will be that they don't know. Yesterday morning I emailed my salesman. He ran a vehicle visibility report that still showed the car sitting in DE. Two hours later he called me to tell me the car had arrived at the dealer.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yea, all the stories about the tracking show that it's a lot less reliable than we'd like. But at least you'll get to enjoy yours soon!

I'll be having a glass of bourbon in your honor tonight just down the road from your dealership to celebrate.

Mark, I will try being there at around 2:30 tomorrow. It will give me another excuse to drive the new toy.

Looks like I’ll be shifting my plans to earlier in the day. I’ll let you know my final plan in the morning.

Out of curiosity, when did your car arrive in wilmington? Mine's been sitting there for a week now.

Yes. That’s why I’ve shifted my plan. I’m thinking now I’ll shout to be at Rocket Frog when they open and try to get home before it gets bad.

Mine got there on 2-5. No updates until it arrived at the dealership.

Ok, just let us know. I'll go as long as the roads aren't too bad.

Meet at 11:00 at Rocket Frog?
I plan to be there before they open at 11:30 so I can blast off back to MD ASAP.

It is pretty nasty out there already. We have a layer of ice on everything and I am in Fairfax. Sterling is probably worse. Be careful out there.

Yes - please be careful! I haven't left my house since Thursday, our community has been getting layers of ice off and on yesterday and today.

Yeah, time for plan C. I'm staying home.
Freezing rain started in Silver Spring at 9:00 and there's already a slick glaze on our driveway.

I'll go to Rocket Frog tomorrow in the early afternoon and we'll start enjoying our Valentines treat tomorrow evening. By then the weather may be damp but everything should be thawed.

Wise decision. We don't want to have a situation like DFW had earlier this week.
Let us know what time you'll be thwre
