Crap, the OCDs have not even commented yet on how close those C7s are parked to each other. OMG, the damage that can result.

Those aren't real, GM is using the same trick on us that the allies pulled on the Germans during world war ll. The allies parked rows of balloon dummies of fake tanks so that when the Germans saw them from the air they would be fooled into thinking that they actually had them ready to deploy.

That's a weird and unusual color mix. Really not that many yellow submarines being sold, right?

It is year 2013, I'm sure the protective coating on the paint is doing the job it was intended to do. RELAX .. Wow

I would rather they don't even cover my car after it sits there for what could be several days.


This is obvously the second batch of cars they had outside. The first batch were all black and they painted them outside. You can see the black over spray on the ground.
