Hey Jeremy, I contacted GM Order Management today and they gave me a TPW of August 3rd for my Torch Red HTC.

I used to work a 10/80 (10 hour days, every other Friday off). I much preferred it over a standard 8 hour work day workweek and so did the manufacturing floor people (once they realized they weren't going to get screwed out of overtime hours).

Hi Sparro, Any chance you could post the contact details for the "GM Order Management"?. I have been stuck on 3000 for ages on my Torch Red HTC & everytime I speak to Concierge or Dealer I never get anything concrete. Cheers & have a great weekend.

I had previously said I didn't think they would start a second shift today, and that turned out to be correct. I don't even know if they will start the second shift next week. Some of this depends on how well the suppliers were able to do last week while the Corvette plant was offline. Second shift is dependent upon suppliers at this point.
