With all sincerity, I hope your procedure goes extremely well, my thoughts and prayers will be with you! When you get back, we will still be exchanging words in a kind fashion.

Some of the privileged few herein, who are wailing, whimpering and demanding that heads must roll, because your brand new Corvette is delayed in arriving . . . . well, frankly you're an embarrassment to anyone who has ever truly been in need.

Have you no real world perspective? Are your heads so far up your exhaust pipes that you really think this is a tragic life event? Terminally ill patients in desperate need of life saving organ transplants are not as demanding.

Oh No - GM is not playing the game by your wishes and rules - they should just do things the way you think they should be done - they should realize just how special you think you are - they better not dare hold your car for QC or ship to someone else ahead of yours - they better hire a gazillion temporary Customer Service specialists to answer your every question 24/7 . . . . . . . . . .

So it's not going perfectly - welcome to life

Good luck with your surgeries. Let your back heal so you can get in and out of the Vette without discomfort. I am sure you will have a much more joyful buying experience at that time!

Peace!

This is why I am content to wait for a while ! Same thing happen when the C 6 first came out and my 06 was a lemon.

Good healing Raider! I don't know what's worse... Being a Raider fan, a Giants fan or a Cardinals fan. I've been all three at one time in my life or another.

I understand!! We ordered in 1st consensus & watch thousands getting built but not ours, that have ordered way after us! Some getting built with the options we ordered!

Not being a cry baby about it but it is very frustrating, getting all different information!

Raider has been sitting watching everyone move except him!

How would you like it if, you wait outside for Iphone for over 24 hours & when the sale starts, they give them to the people in the back of the line?
