Default My C7 is touring the midwest

Well my coupe was built 11/21 (8062), but since then has been on a road trip by truck and train through just about every state in the midwest.

I guess my car went from Bowling Green to Toledo and sat there for a while, and then on Friday GM Chat said it was in Indiana going to Wisconsin.

Now my dealer said its in St. Louis on a train.

I know it has to be complex to ship a car from Bowling Green to Minnesota, but geez LOL.

Maybe people have wrong information, but if not thats just insane.

Good luck to all waiting on shipping before xmas shutdown, its not working out well right now.

Mine was built on 12/5 and was estimated to be at my dealer by tomorrow 12/11. Last I heard, it was hanging out in Nashville. I wish these things came with tracking numbers lol. Good luck to you.. Fingers and toes crossed

maybe they are using it to test cold weather shipping issues!

the main thing is, is it parked or moving, and if so, is it finally headed toward Minnesota? you should have cut it off when it went through Wisconsin!

H2LS3, you won't believe this! Some transport guy was stuck in the snow in front of my drive way. It had a TR Z51 on the back, and he asked me I could park the Vette in my garage while he called for a tow truck to dig him out because the transport was sliding off the road. We pulled it out and I have it sitting in my garage right now! Poor guy was lost and said he could lose his job for such a blunder.

If you think this is your car let me know, and we can dealer prep it right here

Hi John,

Hey thanks! I got a torch red z51, 1lt, black wheels, 7 speed, nav, mag ride, and transparent roof.

Suburban Chevrolet. They have been great to deal with.
