I was number 48 on a waiting list... I highly doubt the records still exist, they
were so poorly kept to begin with. When we went in to the Think! dealership to ask
about them and then have our names added to the list. We were blown off completely.
Basically, since we weren't there to actually purchase anything (through no fault
of ours) we were treated with very little respect. The list was handwritten on the
back of another piece of paper. People's names were on the list more than once and
the "sales" man had it in a messy folder full of brochures.
It looked like an afterthought.
