At least you have better progress. Mine went 50 miles. My car supposedly left the Toledo autoyard 36 hours ago and Chevy Customer Service said it was last in Ottawa, OH with no ETA. The railcar tracker only knows it left the Toledo autoyard with no ETA. My dealer seems to think it will be in Northern CA in 10 days....not at this rate.

Train is finally on it's last leg of a ' long and winding road.' I think there was a song about that.
Anyway it's in, or going through Crawford, or Callford AZ., could not quite understand recording.

When Kaitlyn in Chevrolet.com customer told me last week that it should be in CA by the 23rd. I guess she knew what she was talking about. Only a few more days.

It's almost home. You should go on a road trip and see if you can spot the train.

Train arrived at the Mira Loma Rail yard yesterday,11-21, and car #CNA704014 has been unloaded and is empty. .

I'm going to email my sales person and let her know. I would like to be at the dealer when it arrives there. It seems like it has taken forever, but it will soon be in my garage.

Your dealer won't know when it is leaving Mira Loma and is in transit to them. The best thing to do is have your selling dealer activate onStar for you and then you can track it from the onStar app. My car sat in Mira Loma for about a day and a half.

OMG it's beautiful. I emailed my sales person Friday, telling here that my car had arrived at Mira Loma rail yard. She has not responded yet. I will call her today.

Congratulations On your new ride.

Still haven't seen my car yet. My sales person took a few days off again so all my emails last week went unanswered. She's back, says there is no way to know when the auto transport will show up from Mira Loma.

Skid Plate may get his Vette before me yet.

Maybe I'll see my car this weekend. Of course my sales person is taking Sunday off.

My C7 was making good rail time until it hit Wyoming and deployed the drag chute. Left Laramie a few hours ago. GM CS said it would be in at the NorCal depot on Thursday (doubt it) and my dealer said Sunday. Time will tell.

So now the race begins. I'm sure they will be worth the wait.

It will definitely be worth the wait.
BTW, this just came out recently. If you have or are getting a Z51, then it seems like Chevy is recommending the first oil change at 500 miles.


I just took mine to the dealer today as I will be driving to S. Florida in the morning and that is a 700 mile one-way journey.

UP finally took the brakes off and now the train is zipping across the salt flats of Utah.

When I started this thread weeks ago I never expected that fellow members with a TPW of 10/27/14 would have to wait weeks after the first ones were delivered. I picked mine up on November 5th. You guys will have yours soon out on the west coast. We are having a good ole nor'easter snow storm in New England so my new C7 is put away until Spring. Enjoy your new rides!

Good news. Let us see pictures when it arrives. Maybe there is hope after all. Mine is supposed to arrive next week. Keeping fingers crossed.

We had 80 degree + weather yesterday, and no C7. Could have taken out the C4 but I was to busy cooking.

I hope you get your C7 soon. I have had mine now for a week and a half and was able to drive with the top off yesterday in the SoCal weather...
