Hey sanantguy, totally agree. But after driving the C7 last year I figured it would be worth modifying the driveway to get the vette to my home storage aka garage. Hey the city agreed with me that the curb was too high and will fix it own their nickel. I hate those ramps and so do the neighbors so I make sure to remove them after each use.

Nope, I'm in the same boat you are. Vin #179. Still sitting in the BG parking lot, waiting for transport to Texas. I think there are a couple other guys who are still waiting. Boiler_81 is one I can think of.

Correct, I am still waiting. I suspect there are still a number of cars which have not yet been reworked. I would suspect they are motivated to get them reworked ASAP. I assume it is a supply issue, keeping the line running with the correct parts is first priority. However, every plant I have ever worked with wants to clear out the lot as soon as they can. They do not like cars aging in the lot. There is always the potential for damage as they sit.

I saw a truckload headed west on I69 near Central City Kentucky yesterday morning. Hopefully some of the cars are headed to you guys.

You are not the first to have your order parked in your driveway and the computer showing at the plant. And not just Corvettes.

It is a minimum of a day behind not just a day behind.

It seems the 24 hour suspension on checking on-star GPS resets at midnight EST. My car is sitting in a parking lot near a hotel/McDonalds/Red Lobster a few hours away from Toledo.

Ticket prices have been skyrocketing the last couple of days so I am just pulling the trigger for two seats.

I can't imagine that the car won't be ready for pickup next Saturday. Not with everyone getting their EYT's. I would still push on Shane to take delivery of the car and have it prepped and then all he needs is MacMulkin to get the invoice. It can't be that difficult to figure out adding another $25 to the EYT option for the "labor" of removing a chrome bar.
As of an hour ago, MacMulkin hasn't seen a single EYT invoice. See my WTF is my 2016 thread

Ok, I have to ask. What does the dealer say?

Still waiting for my Certificate of Origin which is required to register the car.

No word from the dealer so I suspect they are waiting on paperwork.

It was 4B00 as of this morning at 9am CDT. Then I saw it on the highway around noon...
