Congratulations! Getting it unloaded will be like getting something off of Santa’s sleigh times 10, I hope that when it arrives, you all are having good weather so you can enjoy it on the road some. Glad this is a car-type happy ending for you! Enjoy.

Jesus, so the saga continues 😆. Ruxvette thank you for the information on the Ackerman effect. I researched it and there are plenty of videos on YouTube not just with Vettes but 911s, open wheel cars etc.. I’m thinking it didn’t happen on the test drive is because they had it in the indoor drop off/pick up maintenance area before we drove off. Doing the paperwork, it was outside in 40 degree weather. If you haven’t experienced the Ackerman effect….it will absolutely freak you out! I’ve owned probably 30 cars in my life, many were very nice and I was deep into autocross at one point, raced in the 24 hours of LeMons once so I’m no stranger to cars, but I’ve never heard of or experienced this before. I’ve driven cars across a parking lot without torquing down the lugs accidentally and this sounds and feels exactly like that. Learn something new every day.
SO….long story short, called the dealership, apologized profusely….we’re resigning and having the car shipped.
