No, that's not true anymore. They solved the supply issues they were having with those tapered fasteners. It must be something else, like an electronic part for the infotainment system. All that stuff comes from Asia, and we know the problems there. I'll check with the Concierge on Monday.

I do not deserve special treatment. What i want is to enjoy my car before the cancer kills me. Is that asking to much for me to ask. Thanks for your insults your mom must be real proud of you.

You contacted Mary Bara with your story, and I'm sure you told her the Stage 4/Responder information, too. Lo and behold, Son, somebody from GM contacted you, so that's special treatment while we "eat crow". So yeah, you are asking too much, because all of us who are waiting on our cars are just part of the system. That applies to you, too. That's life.

Nobody is purposely keeping your car from you, yet you act like they are, and that makes you a malcontent.

And my mother is DEAD as of last September, She likes Corvettes but will never see my C8, That's life too, sorta.

Your profile indicates you were 14 on 9/11. Either you entered your birthdate incorrectly or ...

If it’s an error you should correct it so as not to be misunderstood.

We all want to enjoy our cars before we expire. I hope you get to enjoy yours.

That GM contact is ???

On my 2001 Z06, which was the plant on the day it rolled of the line and I put a wheel on and did the fuel fill and first start had the special rear glass get shattered on install. It was in QC for less than a week as I recall.

Short of something that not repairable like using the car using the car hauler as a Dukes of Hazard jump ramp you will get it. Of course maybe it landed on the other car destined for you dealer, and that is the problem. If so, good luck with that. Maybe a video will show up on YouTube or Facebook and you will have your answer.

Ask your CONTACT to see the build sheet and repair tickets for your car. It may have been damaged in the Repair Yard.

As I've discussed several times [[u]but you refuse to acknowledge the possibility], your car was likely damaged in transit, along with the other car headed to your dealer. Why else would they stall for time? [Those are your words. [i]Son.] What other scenarios could make more sense? That is why it has fallen off the face of the earth. Damaged and hush-hush. The GM lawyers are talking with the dealer, and neither of them has any intent on telling you anything until they have their bookkeeping with the dealer squared away. You simply don't count and have zero say in this instance. It's GM's car that was damaged, not yours. Maybe your little birdie at the dealer can tell you such important things.

But according to you, you have serious connections at GM, while the rest of us eat crow. So why doesn't this big GM person tell you what's going on with your vanished car? Now that your getting Special Treatment, why won't they tell you it's been smashed up on the truck? What's the delay? Don't they know that you MUST have that car immediately? Immediately! You DESERVE that car.

I didn't know that people "eat crow" anymore....

Now I've had Quail, and it was delightful, if a bit fussy, and I had chicken at KFC, and had to go into trauma counseling for 3 weeks. I also eat Blue Point crabs, and Little Necks, but Quahogs make me gag worse than a Patriots game.

But I've never eaten crow.... how should it be prepared?

Crow is best prepared with a Chardonnay marinade....I’ve been serving it to a few select forum members for years.
I don’t know what it tastes like,but it must be good...
Many members have come back for seconds...and even thirds.

Actually crow is quite delicious. I will post the best way to cook it. You eat the breasts. How to cook a crow breast?
  • Slice onions into thin slices and push out the centers to make rings. Place onions in skillet and place crow breasts over onions. The two flavors will combine while cooking. Put skillet on stove and cook until onions are brown and meat is tender. Serve crow over the onions.
