Cold Weather Delivery?
My northern brethren,
It may be possible that some of us will have to take delivery in the snow and ice covered months. In Minnesota that's Late possibly mid Nov-March or early April.
What say you to transportation options from the dealership that could be built into the purchase agreement?

I had my stingray delivered first week of Jan in MN and my dealer was awesome about it. They brought it out to my house in an enclosed trailer without any sort of agreement before hand. If your dealer is good they should understand if they want to sell these cars in MN and in winter they need to go a little above for service.
The tires in these things are no joke either. I had to have all four of the ones replaces on my stingray because it sat in the rail yard with below zero temps. The dealer was great about that too. If it's cold when we get deliveries of the z06 make sure you check for cracks.
I have a VY coming with the initial orders too, I wonder how many MN guys there are on these first ones?

I don't know if my dealer is that nice. I think Quagmire is expecting.

Cool! I bet we all come in on the same truck! Hopefully they have the rail shipping figured out now, the stingray took like 50 days to ship lol.

If so, I hope mine is at the back of the truck, because it means it'll be first to deliver.
But, it's more likely that mine is loaded on top and in the front, and arrives without a cover; because the damn thing blew off just after leaving the plant parking lot...

Should be interesting to see how fast they come. I looked back at my stingray and it went 2000 10/29 and was built 11/21. Who knows with these first run ones, but be awesome if we had a couple weeks to drive em!!

Well I will try to be the optimistic one here in the MN bunch. We will all get our cars in time to break them in and then hibernate them in favor of Vikings football! lol
