Leaving the snow for sunny AZ...







Nice Sterling Blue GS behind mine.



Head em up, move em out....

Beautiful car. I received some similar pictures from MacMulkin as my car was about to be loaded last month. Plycar was my shipper, and they give you a GPS link so you can watch the progress of the truck in real time. Be glad you don't have that.....I found myself watching it ALL THE TIME....through icy mountain passes, blizzards, truck washes, etc. I didn't get much sleep that week, but it sure was fun.

My Onstar was setup as well but the dealer told me not to use it too often because it would drain the battery.

One night during shipping the truck was parked for several hours (so the driver could sleep I assume) at a truck stop that had a restaurant and a strip club. I had visions of strippers taking turns doing burnouts in my new Corvette.

Yeah....you're better off with just the Onstar.

Congrats man. I bought my 17' GS 2LT in Admiral blue (basically identical to yours) back in Jan from Jessy and Kenny. Great guys to work with, made it easy. Delivered right to my house. On the plus side, I live only 20 miles from MacMulkin, so it was delivered a couple days after I paid.

The guy was super careful unloading it from the truck, and it's now been sitting in my garage for the last 1.5 months while I wait for the snow to melt and the roads to clear.



Just put my vanity plates on today, can't wait to drive it in a week or two!

Does Onstar track the car while it's in motion or just when it's parked? I've checked it a few times and it seems like it only updates the location when the truck is parked. It's not making much progress. Picked up in NH Friday night and it shows it's in western NJ since yesterday afternoon and it hasn't moved since. If that's accurate, I won't see the car until next week.

It does track the car while it's moving. Sometimes the trucking companies leave the car parked for a day or two to get onto another truck before it heads out west. You might want to call them to find out.

The plan was to pick my car up on Friday (which they did), then pickup cars in NJ and then Ohio (I assume at Coughlin) and then a straight shot to my house (1,890 miles) in AZ as I am the first delivery and the rest of the cars are going to California. It's one truck all the way. I did check with Sharon of Intercity a couple of days ago and she gave me the exact location which was Hartford, Ct. But every time I check using Onstar it seems it's in the same location. I know that can't be accurate because the driver called me Friday and told me he would probably be at my house by this Friday. I'll keep checking, but not too often as you suggested, and see what happens.

Gongrats on your new Car. I'm looking at new compared to used. Wondering what shipping cost was. I live in Nevada so it would be comparable. There are sure some interesting deals on the new cars.

It could also be that the Onstar can no longer "see" the car through the truck (perhaps another car is above yours on the truck now) so it would retain the last location that it captured. I've heard nothing but great things about Intercity so I'm sure it will be there as promised in perfect condition. You will love watching it be unloaded....just like Christmas when you were kid.

I was quoted $2200 from both Intercity and Plycar from MacMulkin in NH to Las Vegas.

Mine was the first loaded so it should be on top. No big deal. It will get here when it gets here.
