Soooo...my car is still awaiting a carrier in Baltimore before it gets sent to the dealer...but my car showed up under the new car inventory on my dealer's website. Is it standard practice for individual ordered cars to show up in the inventory to the public or should I be suspicious?

Normal. God forbid you do not sign paperwork, they sell it. They are just hedging their bets. Usually the inventory order manager does not pay attention to which cars are customer ordered. The only exception is ED cars which will not show up usually on a dealer website.

And if someone calls and inquiries about the car they saw on the website?

Does not matter. In my experience the salesman will say it is not at dealer yet and then look into it, see the stock number is tied to another CA and say it is sold. If not, he will run some numbers for the guy and by the time any deal could be reached you would have been in and bought it. If you really feel uncomfortable call the dealer. I personally would not worry, I have ordered cars from a few different manufactures and this happens, but it has never turned out negatively for me.

The car has your name on it in the ordering system. To be sold to somebody else requires somebody at the dealer physically removing your name from the system.

My car is.......at the dealer.
Will be picking it up tomorrow.
Was a shipmate of OF Hero's on Tugela.

Mine was supposed to leave Baltimore 9/10, got delayed to 9/13, arrived in Chicago today. Got e mail from CA at 5:55 PM....about 20 minutes before I was gonna call him since Genius said it was due for delivery today.

Now I wonder if I should look at dealer website to see if it's listed. But I doubt there will be pictures. Think I'll resist.

I realize I've "dreamed"/anticipated/looked forward to this day for 12 years, since E46 SMG days. One must be careful with karma and hubris in these situations.
