He cant say anything about it,.. but the truth is his car has been sent to Area Z51 for Top Secret Next Gen Z06 upgrades.



He's been restricted from talking about it, but i guess it's ok for me to let you know....

Personally, I would be extremely excited knowing I would be getting one of the best built cars coming out of the plant! Great Christmas present.
Absolutely correct and I could not agree more! Very well said.

SOMETHING BIG HAS HAPPENED!

According to my OnStar Family Link, my Corvette looks to be ready to be sent back to me! If they still use the back lot in the same way as they did with the C6, my Corvette appears to be on a truck at this moment!



Also, thanks for the humorous posts!

Any thoughts on the large number of black cars on the right side of the picture. Looks like a couple of hundred placed closely together!!!

OnStar uses Bing's satellite images, so they are not live images. These are C6s in the lot. But maybe they had just finished a run of black Corvettes?

The satellite photos are not live, could have been taken months ago, the cars in the photo could all be C6's at the time it was taken.


Edit:

I see the question was already answered after I hit the post button

I admire and respect your patience as well as your loyalty to the Corvette.

It's your car, your choice and your money. Only your opinon counts.

Kudos!

May you get that car delivered back to you real soon and may you enjoy as much as I am enjoying mine.

Merry Christmas.

If indeed, your car is being put on a truck to be sent back to you, you would expect they would call you.
Also, I don't see any car covers, so it is probably an old picture.

Thanks! I'm excited! My service manager just confirmed that my Corvette is ready to be shipped. I don't know when it will leave BG of when it will arrive here, but I'm glad it's ready!

Take your sleeping bag to the dealer, set up camp, and tell them you're not leaving till your Vette comes in...

Congratulations, it's been a long wait. I hope it's perfect.

So what's the procedure once your car arrives?


Is the service manager going to do the delivery or will the regional service rep do it ?
