Can you post the google news story that shows the strike?
Ed,

Here is the link straight from Port of Houston

Provided your S6 is on this ship, here is the link

http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shi...MMSI=563329000

click on the current location latitude/longitude and it will bring up the last known position of the ship... My dealer says that cars are not affected by this which is what the port of Houston news update says...

However no one guarantee things when things take turn for the worst..Lets hope our cars are not delayed,...

The port strike WILL NOT affect cars deliveries. The ILA (the union that represents the longshoremen) published a memo that expressly stated that cars, among certain other items - "bulk break items" - will continue to be unloaded from ships during their strike.

I read that too but all this confusion is definitely going to slow things down and invite more chaos at the ports.. Bottom line, delays are highly likely
