Default Finally!

After waiting since the 3/8 build date, my LMB MN6 3LT Coup finally showed up at the dealership. GM has not been able to tell me or the dealer where it has been for the least two weeks. The dealer called me Tuesday and said it had been delivered that morning. Wednesday, GM calls the dealer and tells him that the car is back in BG from the off-site quality location (MN6 - clutch/flywheel issue). I would not give GM 2 cents for its logistics or customer service group, but Dave and company did design one fantastic car!

I'll try and post pictures after the weekend wash/clay/wash/rejex process is completed. I've had the car 24 hours, driven 90+ miles and haven't stopped smiling.

Bet that was very frustrating taking almost a month from build date. I had mine in less than a week from build date. Enjoy your new ride!

Mine arrived at the dealer yesterday and took a little over a week to get from BG to Connecticut. What got me cranked up was that GM said it could take from 3 days to 3 weeks which is almost no answer. Now the tough part is waiting while the calipers get powder coated, CCW wheels and Corsa Sport exhaust are all installed. Mike the owner of “The Powdercoater.com” is working with me to get the calipers done ASAP. He’s a super forum vendor and has really helped me with this project. With a little luck everything should be finished by next Tuesday! Hope to have some pics to post very soon…………..

My build date was 4/4 and I pick it up at NCM 4/25. That is three weeks! Am I counting? You bet, but the timing is working out just perfectly for me! The wait is getting closer to being over

Blueracer, Sound like you have have great car. Hope you enjoy washing and waxing as much as I have. Did not mean to hijack your thred. Please excuse.
