Truck Load in CA.
I saw a truckload going west on 40 headed for Barstow yesterday.
Should be at dealers today. Interesting that some did not have the white covers on them. Must have removed them to move them around if there not in the correct order.

They can be driven with covers on. That is interesting. I wonder if the flew off or started flapping on the long trip so the driver removed them?

Those uncovered cars are the ones that the driver uses to visit his in-laws(little side trip) and to run to McDonalds while his big rig is parked way down the road at the Motel 6, during that long trip to California.

I would not be surprised if the ones on the truck without covers were from the Nevada track sessions and will end up being used as dealer demos.

My dealer was one of those cars.
The truck driver confirmed three of the car covers blew off the cars on the way here from BG.
He also said there were five Stingray trucks stuck in Barstow on Saturday and for whatever reason was not supposed to deliver them until today.
Maybe those other deliveries broke the rules. Also my car has gone 4200 and is 48 hours behind the car that arrived today.
The spoiler gaps are consistent on both sides and I am convinced they are supposed to be there for water.
Also torch red still looks orange but not in photographs. No regrets on my choices.
