Default Parking lot empty

For all those that think the line is running and GM is planning a massive ship off. My brother did me a favor and stopped by the back of the plant and did some recon. The back parking lot is not full of C7's only misc. company cars. He did however say there was a lot of employees there. Also followed a Yellow C7 partially around the corvette dr. Got a pic of the yellow C7 but not of the lot so go ahead with that bash if you need too. Anyhow thought I would give that update out. Maybe better news Monday if the line gets to moving.

sorry its been a long day fixed that sentence. Guess they were like Malibu's, vans, trucks, other fleet vehicles. Not many just some. Brother was just returning from Chicago thought he would help out. He did say that you can no longer drive all the way around the property on Corvette drive. Partial road close. Said he had to do some hiking.

I think somethings up. Kerbeck is down to 1 C6 in inventory as of this morning. I have a feeling the Stingrays will be arriving sooner than later. Just a hunch.

Actually, we just sold that one.

We are buying C6s from other dealers just to have something to sell because we know we are at least 6 weeks away from seeing any C7s.

Sorry.

It's pretty tough to say seeing as production hasn't even started yet.
