    Seven Bloody Months

    That's right. Seven bloody months before we start seeing the S10's delivered here in the states. I thought I could be patient and wait it out, but I'm not so sure about that now. And the frustration isn't going to get any better either. Winter isn't too far away. It's already getting dark...
