Default Farthest Z06 delivery real time!

I'll punch in once a day but I could use some help. I'm in California so I'm dying to know how far the delivery got so far.

12/04/2014 452 miles from Bowling Green to City Chevrolet in Charlotte

deliveries are pretty wide spread, I have not seen anything on the west coast though. I have seen FL, CT, NJ, OH, NC, MS, TX, OK, and MI

I'm in PA still waiting so it might have to do with waiting for full trucks not just distance.

Hm, so maybe TX or FL takes the cake for now.

I just checked on mine, it's in Toledo, OH waiting for a carrier to Milpitas, CA. 450 miles traveled but not in the right direction!

In Denver....my Z06 was in Toledo Ohio as of early Monday morning ...just went to my dealer here in Denver and nothing yet....
I would imagine they are waiting to fill up a train heading west...stopping at all points before Denver and then heading out to the west coast.......just what I think.....
It's been a long process, the weather here is good for the next week, so I hope it gets here soon...I'll post up when the train hits Denver

It looks like for some folks it takes up to 3 weeks to load up on a train in Toledo OH.

I think most of the West coast cars are first shipped to Gary, IN and left in a vacant lot overnight to test the theft deterrent system

That explains why we get no allocations in this state. Gary is molesting all the entry points on these babes.

So is it fair to say that everyone but West Coast gets their cars by truck? The train has got to go, it's infinitely slower by comparison.

My Z06 sat out in the snow in Bowling Green for 2 weeks waiting to ship. Then sat out in the weather in Toledo for 5 days waiting for a train. FINALLY today on a train heading for So Cal, ETA Dec 13.

My dealer has a great lady that can manage to get almost any info. She has a way with people on the phone (sweetness will get you a long ways). Dealers can find out quite a bit, but it is time consuming.

No date is ever accurate, my fear is that the railroad will place it on a siding for a while to let another "hot" train get around.

I have no idea about other trains or how many car carriers were sent out.
