Default Dropped the C7 off at the deal this morning, might not see it again for a while..

Left it at the body shop to get both doors and the rear bumper panel properly aligned under warranty.


Told them not to rush...



I'm right near the center of the 12"-18" prediction. Welcome to spring...

Yuck! You guys have sure gotten hammered this year! I'm only about 7-8 hours to the west of there, and we've had a very low amount of snow in the past 6-8 weeks.

Default Timing is everything

Rescued my car this morning from Bryner's. Raced the snowline home. Now safe in garage.

So, what's the back story on the doors not being aligned, and the rear facia? Is your C7 brand new and you just noticed these discrepancies? Or did they develop over time.

The rear of the driver side door no longer aligns. That developed over time.


The front of the passenger door is slightly misaligned. I never noticed until I checked the doors when I noticed the driver side issue.

I noticed the fascia issue shortly after I bought it, when adding the larger spats, but it was the middle of winter and planned on dealing with it when it got nicer out.

But since the driver alignment issue would annoy me every time I looked in the mirror I decided just to get it all done, then was out of town on a business trip for the better part of the last month.

My former house near Lansdale PA is getting hammered. That's one aspect of living near Philly I don't miss. Hope all of you up there come through this OK.

Yow!

I've got a retired friend less than a mile from the coast in Maine, have been getting photos of these storms and snowfalls from her on Facebook.

Hang in there.

With 10+ inches expected in central nj looks like my c7 will stay on life support till the streets are clear and the salt is washed away. This march is an all time worst!

All this snow makes spring even more rewarding WHEN it finally gets here!
