Default Its close--oh so close...

Chevy customer service told me that the car was delivered to the dealership at 1:30 yesterday. This morning the order tracker page showed...

So, hopefully I can go see it soon and maybe pick it up in a week or so. I'm still not in a hurry as I have about 4" of ice at the end of my driveway. Supposed to be close to 50 this weekend so maybe I can get it out of there. It's been a long a$$ winter!

Congrats, it's almost home! Be careful, as you may have read, the summer only tires lose some of their traction at temps below 40 degrees. So far in this third month of January weather in MI, I am only sitting in mine occasionally. Still smells new!

Have fun. You will LOVE this car!

It appears you made an excellent color choice Hopefully your driveway issues will get melted soon and you can bring it home. I'm getting tired of sitting in mine and making engine noises since I snuck it home on 2/12.

I agree on the color choice! I'm picking mine up Monday at the museum and time is standing still. For now I'm constantly checking the Blvd for that first glimpse... VY with full body stripes in carbon flash...

Yeah, my plan is to carefully bring it from the dealer to the detail shop for the xPEL install then carefully bring it home and put it in the garage and get familiar with all the electronics etc...it's going to be sooooo hard to not take it out.

Got to be a good feeling knowing that the car is almost in your driveway. Hope the weather cooperates and you can take delivery soon.
