Is there a back way out of the plant or just the road that heads towards the Museum before hitting whatever that road is that you can take to the freeway?

Corvette Drive is basically the only way. There is a very narrow back road out but it has a steep RR crossing that a car hauler couldn't navigate. It's so steep that corvettes have to creep across it.

Don't get too excited, I bet they are for his car show this Saturday where the C7 is scheduled to be on Display.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...n-in-ohio.html

STINGRAY CORVETTES ON DISPLAY, CYBER GREY, LIMEROCK GREEN, NIGHTRACE BLUE, TORCH RED & MORE!

If so that's a very deceiving picture posted on the website.

So Ken Fichtner's announcement that shipping will not start til 9/18 was wrong ...

unless ...

Chevrolet, along with all the other incredible technology on the C7 ...

invented ...

A TIME MACHINE!!!

Oh no, another car company already did that, right?

If they were going there wouldn't that be up 75 instead of down?

Not so quick. I'd like to hear from Rick to see if that's the ones for his show.

They all look like Z51 none with chrome or black wheels. What's the chances that no one ordered black wheels w/o z51?

If they were heading down I-75 they weren't going to Rick's. They would be on I-71. So based on the knowledge of the area they would be heading to FLorida and right through my area of north GA. I-75 doesn't start till Chattanooga just off I-24. And by looking at the asphalt coloring that's ga pavement

This is the kind of stuff that I love about ordering a car lol! We theorize because we are so desperate for answers haha! I agree I believe shipping has started although it is odd there are no chrome or black wheels on those cars

Yea see how bad it has gotten. It is ga asphalt though

Also anyone notice last car on bottom. The strap is has came loose. And let me tell you why. Hauler came over bumpy *** eagle mountain and it bounced loose. That was prior to driving thorough north ga on I-75 enroute to Florida.

If relevant we would do more than just look at it---- we'd send appropriate personnel to gather samples
