Finally Got My C7
First of all, a big thumbs up to Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, TX. Sales mgr and salesman were very cordial, friendly and professional.
Car was built on the 18th, delivered to the dealer on the 23, we picked it up on the 25th.
Lots of mileage on the car, kidding a grand total of 2 mi, just what I want in a car like this.
Everything went as expected, no financial surprises, car clean and handsome. Blade Silver 2LT A6 w Adrenaline Red interior. Found one strange problem, passenger side seat malfunctioned. A sensor was being pressured by the carpet behind the seat. They put a cushioning pad over it and all was well.
Had nearly an hour in the rain and mostly bumper to bumper traffic, seldom getting above 25 mph. Regularly varied my speeds to facilitate the “break in.” Despite all that, got 25 mpg.
Lots of TX roads have a coarse aggregate and with the fat tires, significant road noise. One smooth asphalt, it was very quiet, excellent ride, great brakes and handling.
Some don’t think it’s of much value but I really liked the bright and useful HUD.
Immediately got smiles, heads leaning out of pickups and friendly stares.
Filthy from the rain, needs a wash, wax, check lug torques, install locking lugs and splash guards.
Really slick car. Don

Congratulations! Amazingly fast delivery .. didn't know it could still happen that quickly. When I bought my C5, it was built on a Friday, made it to the dealer (400 miles away) on Monday, and I picked it up on Tuesday .. My C7 is due to be built next week (6/30) and the dealer is only 40 miles from BG .. but with the safety checks, QA, baying, etc .. it could be weeks before I can get it .. Of course I'm hoping to get lucky ...
Enjoy the ride.
Enjoy the ride.

I gave them the deposit check late March, they actually ordered it on the 12th of April I believe.
Just installed the GM splash guards. Everyone says they’re easy, sometimes those comments are optimistic but as they said a breeze to install. Wish GM had made them project a little more outward.
Permanently installed plastic jack pucks were no brainers of course. Off to get XPEL and tinting near term. Don
