Default Here is the Scoop

Some very important people in a very high up place were in an elevator and overheard by my sister's brother-in-laws cousin friend Mike and they said the cars were taking longer to ship because the Z51's were so much slower that they were taking forever to get on the transporter's. The auto are loaded and ready to go. Now they also decided the rear end was so ugly they would take them all off and reload them backwards, just to keep people from making bad comments while in transportation. Now the free car covers could have hidden this, but they decided not to put them on the cars but rather to give them to the Tibetan Monks to encourage them to make the carbon fiber dashes quicker. That is just what I am hearing.

So, those little tiny warning labels on prescription drug vials, the ones that implore you to not take the meds and consume alcohol, or suffer delusional side effects . . . . I see you didn't pay any attention to them either

Lighten up folks. I have a C7 coming too and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival as well. You have to admit all of these rumors and speculations and everyone getting information from reliable sources and them all saying something different is a whirlwind. I think we are all out of things to say until the cars start showing up in the real world.

You know what? I have been clicking on your little tiny bit of info..... threads expecting to see something interesting and haven't found any of them worth clicking on. I have no problem with crazy nonsense on this forum (it happens all day long) but please put something descriptive in the thread title about what I should expect when I click on it. What the.. doesn't cut it. Some peeps use phones to read these threads and would like to have some idea about what we are clicking on.

P.S. - cant wait for my freaking car either!!!

Here's a thought: say nothing. Stop acting like a giddy little school girl. It gets annoying.

I think someone has had a little too much internet today. I know your intentions were to be "funny" but there has been plenty of these threads that are made for people to "only poke fun".

bigblock427's avatar was the only thing that made this thread worth opening.

To the OP, I would like to know what Tibetan monks are going to do with a bunch of car covers; especially since they are not red.
