While driving to work a couple of days ago on I280, a car hauler full of white covered Corvettes made its way to the expressway. Not sure where they came from.

Here's mine... Just need to wait for the ground effects to be installed before I can pick it up. Might take until Saturday.

Appears they ship without front or sides installed to avoid damage during transport.

Ok, first Bay Area pic. Just got home at 11:00. Here is a picture of the car I just bought home. 2016 3LZ, stage 1, spectra grey wheels. It was a 10 week wait from ordering but well worth it. Thanks for all for your help and support. I'll be rooting for the rest of you.

Not any more. Found out that my car left Toledo on July 29 so my final tally for the Toledo Experience™ ended up at 15 days. My old space atop the 2016 MY leaderboard is ripe for the picking.

My car is now just east of Chicago and thus 1/3 of the way to its final destination in Winnipeg. Should show up in the next week or so and I can't wait.

6/29 TPW. Still shows 4B00 (Bayed). I got my hopes up thinking it would be to California by now.

Who is your dealer?

Dealer is Rick Conti. I'm pretty sure it got delayed by the EYT chrome delete fiasco. Given my TPW, I was just sure that it would be right along aside the other bay area ones delivered recently.

Wow, still Bayed at the factory? That must be frustrating!

I'm writing this not to rub it in, but in case it's helpful to you in getting your car moving: I had the same TPW and my car was delayed because of the EYT fiasco, but I still took delivery (in San Jose, California) last Friday.

I hope your car finds its way to California soon!

Get a copy of the Event History printout from your dealer. You might find that your car is bayed in Toledo and not BG. As soon as your car is delivered to Toledo it drops from status code 4200 to 4B00 until it is loaded on a train, at which time it pops back up to 4200. Not a huge difference, but it might mean that your car is a week or two closer than you think.

Thanks for that info warc, keeping my fingers crossed that it's only a week out.

From one rail yard to another...





The trip from Toledo to Winnipeg finally ended with this rail car showing up in the main Canadian Pacific rail yard this morning. This car kennel contains my Z06 along with four others Vettes that I can see. Unfortunately, I'm still days away from getting it. The rail car needs to be delivered to the truck transport lot around five miles away, and then unloaded so my car can be aged for some unspecified amount of time before it can be loaded up on a transport and taken to my dealer.

It's been 14 months since I started down this path and these last few days are killing me.
