Been a LONG time since Jan. 13th. Since the cars are delayed, not much to really talk about. Just the same ole, C7 bashing. It gets old, no use in having the same thread beat to hell every week.

Hard to keep up the new car/C7 excitement, after a solid year of waiting.

Actually went to some other manufactuers for some test drives, while waiting on the C7. There are some very good cars out there, maybe time for a change.

Let's see. 4 per day, 5 days per week = 20 per week. 500 / 20 = 25 work days. Should see him in about a month.

Not so fast ^ A GM insider told a salesman who works at a dealership where I guy I know bought a car, said - "microfiber towels are on constraint till August 12 - no waxing in BG"

And this applies how to this thread? I wouldn't call this thread a bash thread would you?

I have been wanting to ask this question for several days now but I don't want to go off topic and it is worthless as a thread. I got my Corvette Forum sticker in the mail on Monday and I don't know what to do, I like the sticker and want to display it but I currently have a Mustang, at least it is a 5.0 so wouldn't be that insulting to the sticker. This is the type of problem that The Ox would be great at answering (there, I got on topic). My C7 is months away, I'm at 1100. So what would Ox answer?

How's Ox ever going to see those blue microfiber waxer towels on his blue 7?

I bet he's out personally inspecting, feeling, touching etc., the orange ones, white ones . . . .

He's probably been abducted by the GM spaceship just like Keeks.

Thanks but I got a pm and Ox said save it for the C7 and if I can put the sticker on straight then maybe I can try for some other mods.

My thought is that Ox is trekking deep in the North Woods with Paul Bunyan, but I may be (as usual) full of bull.
