Well, the inspection was done yesterday (Wednesday). Ijust got off the phone with GM and now it can up to two weeks to get the report back from the inspector. tomorrow will be three weeks without a car.

What was the actual damage? You said you hit a curb, what did you bust and what are you seeking from GM?
I say just get it fixed right and sell it. You're never going to get GM to buy the car back, not without months of haggling and huge lawyer fees.
Glad you are ok. Moral of the story -- don't let the dealers touch your car.

I have scratches on the very front bottom, wind guard is damage and not sure if the tire is good and rim. I have not be able to drive it. I will have to take it out once GM tells me what to do. The dealership had to do the work. It was a recall.

If your vette is an automatic, then they have to take the entire locking system out. If is's a manual, I believe they will replace the locking harness. In my case it seems that the delaership did not perform the correct produces, therefore causing my steering to lock. If you have a fax number, I can fax over the recall bulletin.
