I guess if you have done the paperwork, then you can track it just like the OP. How cool!
I totally forgot about this option and when I called onstar they said it had already been activated for me and was trackable since last Tuesday... I wish I would have known because it could help guide all of us in Nashville... I will immediately update if I see the ping on my car move... I'm monitoring it now

This thread has added the humor we all need right about now. Drake, keep us updated. I will certainly be following the progress of this thread. Now that your C7 knows it is being watched, perhaps it will come home.

My bad. I misread his post.

During the C5/C6 run, they would routinely pull a car after it had gone through the normal 100% inspection, and give it an extended drive over a dedicated course they have at the plant. That would usually add 20 miles to the odometer.

Still waiting to see the post where you call the cops and report your car stolen. LOL That would go over well!

At least you're going to be notified as soon as your car ships! I really don't think your car is going to sit there for another month.

You're a suspicious man Drake I'm glad you found a way to locate you're car! Maybe when yours moves from the pen the rest of ours will be following shortly....we can only hope! Keep us updated!

You really think your car will be there for another month?

This is pretty funny.

Now you just need to be able when they start it up to move, to call them on the onstar phone and ask if they could swing it by your place with a fresh car wash.
