Column A Formulae Faulty
The formulas in column A are all messed up. The actual member count is 182 on the spreadsheet dated 9-18-21. If you must use a formula, copy cell A4 to A5 through the entire column A.

September deadline
We know that Ciocca needs to submit their orders for September in the next couple of days..... does anyone know if ALL dealerships have the same deadline? Or is there any kind of staggering going on?

I am on line 27 of the spread sheet and I would also like to know what is going on with the Criswell status of allocations. There is no one above me on the list that has budged. I want my allocation as much as everyone else., but dang mine isn't coming until the Sept, Oct and Nov customers get theirs. So I really am rooting for you guys to get your 2nd deposits in. Just feeling it's so close yet so far

Man, I feel for your Criswell guys. Just look at the top of the list.
I had a good experience with them on a 1994 Blazer and had a warm spot, but after my early Com with Mike I got turned off. Glad I did. I called the top 10 Corvette dealers and was happiest with my chances with Ciocca (Kerbeck) Plus a hole lot others,

The rest of the saga… last Saturday it became very real, we drove to RHD in Atlanta to pick up my 2022 Corvette VIN# 131. We finished picking up my Corvette at the dealer around 8:40 pm Saturday, one word to describe taking delivery: sensational! If you don't feel like you're on top of the world when taking delivery of your brand new C8, you're doing all wrong ...or you must be like this older gentlemen who I meet at my local dealer picking up his 2021 Corvette about two months ago who has purchased 74 new cars through his life (what a thrill for his wife, she was there with a huge smile too).
After picking up the C8, most of us in the family took turns driving the Corvette around Duluth/Atlanta. We were five (wife, daughter, son, son’s best friend and I), we felt like kids with a new toy which we couldn’t let go, non-stop joy riding the brand-new spanking Corvette, what a blast! The car is fantastic, it's everything I thought it will be plus 100 times better. After a quick bite to eat we headed back to Savannah (and my son back to college, Chattanooga, TN). We took the local route back home which meant we got home late, after 3:30 AM (due to prior commitments back in SAV the next day we couldn’t stay in ATL overnight). Anyhow, a couple of times at red lights two people made me roll down my window to tell me how beautiful my ride was, many others were making signs about the car while driving. At a gas station for a quick stop in Athens GA, after the football game had ended, the Corvette attracted people like a magnet who came around the car drooling 😊 also a drunk person who couldn’t stop talking about the car sexiness and curves, was he right! I decided quickly that was enough glory to feast on at that location. To say the least, I’ve now decided to hangout around gas stations LOL yesterday at SAM’s club a similar situation happened too, but without the drunk (I think…).
A little background, no one that really knows me knew anything about me getting into the C8 waiting list or the Corvette purchase Saturday, not at work, not at church/school, not neighbors, nor our family except for my wife and three children. The uniqueness circumstances of burying a Corvette today help us kept quiet about it (except for you guys here in this forum no one knew). So yesterday, I became popular at the function I assisted, people asked about the Corvette in the parking, then people coming to my table and asking me to come outside and show them my beautiful ride. This red Corvette calls for attention everywhere it goes so far, I wasn’t expecting that at all. To own a Corvette today it’s an amazing feeling.
Later in the afternoon we started adding and installing the many accessories I had accumulated over the last few months, including a few décor items for the garage.
So, what it’s like to own it: spectacular! And I hope everyone here joins me soon if you don’t already have one. Cheers!
