He flatly said there are no ME Corvettes, when I mentioned the 40 or so test mules running around in covers he said we are always testing new components. When I asked about the plant being closed to the public for 18 months he said they were doing a major paint shop upgrade and didn't want the public in with construction workers. When I mentioned the new paint facility upgrade was apparently done since cars were being delivered with new paint he confirmed it was done. When I asked why the plant was still closed to the public until next year he appeared speechless. I told him we would talk next Aug.
