Default Just got the call

I know it's no big deal since a lot have cars already been built, but my dealership Corvette manager just called me and my order is finally going in. He said he'll call me next Thursday with a TPW.

I was under the impression the February Consensus process was to start yesterday with event codes 2000 being completed by February 20th. If true, that would seem to mean event codes 3000 or higher generating actual TPW's would be sometime AFTER the 20th. If your dealer is correct, it sounds like allocations are being picked up and moved to 3000 status codes almost immediately.

Congrats, and nice build. I been giving more and more thought to adding the trident wheels to my build. They look much better than stock. My luck with after market wheels hasn't always been the best.

I also got the call today from my salesman Reggie in Atlanta! It has been agonizing waiting all these months to this point. Hoping for a TPW in May for my convertible!
