Here are some pics I took before "unwrapping" the car at home...

Just in case you never had the pleasure of seeing how your car was sent from Bowling Green and all the various interior protectant wraps, assembly line stickers, warning tags, accessory bags, and location of the books, CD's and DVD's in the cargo area and glove box.
Who knows, someone may need these pictures in 30 years when they are researching a car for a "factory fresh restoration"...!!

You mean the plastic wasn't suppose to be left on? I thought you had to leave it on for the first 500 miles????????????

doc, you can recycle the yellow nylon from the wiper control arm as a lint catcher on your washing machine hose!

Does anyone know the significance of the "22" Bowling Green sticker? I suppose it may be the day of the month of manufacture?

I thought it was like the '33' on the Rolling Rock bottle.

docrings1, Great pics. I assume you are removing all the plastic and tags yourself? My car should be courtesy delivered in a few weeks (TPW 1/24) and I am tempted to tall the dealer taking delivery that I don't want them removing anything and I'll do it all myself.

Too bad you couldn't provide us a wiff of the new car smell while you were at it.

Can't wait for the day I get un-wrap a new C6.

Doc,
Super job of documenting! When I picked up my C6 in September at NCM, they had all the removed plastic and tags in a bag inside the car. I have not opened that bag and from what I see in your pictures, I'll be surprised if it is all in the bag.
Thanks for sharing!

Definitely tell them not to unwrap anything... that way you can make sure it's done right, and get all the enjoyment. It's like Santa Clause for big kids!

After I got home, I realized they didn't give me the owner's manual, but it was in the rear cargo box inside the plastic, along with the owner's DVD guide.

They will have to remove the transeal protectant and wash the car. I had just a couple small scratches which came out quickly with Meguiar's Scratch-X.

The car and the garage still smell new!

It is the day of the month...

This is awesome! Great job on the pics!

I loved the underneath pics. I noticed on my C6 that it is as beatiful underneath as it is everywhere else. This car is a work of art.

When I got mine I was for a (long) while just looking at every little detail under the car!! Very very nice.

Great job Doc. You left no Turn Unstoned. Must have been a great experience for you and a pain in the A$$ to the service guys. Thanks

Cool, I did the exact same thing. Looked funny driving it home however I was able to document it as you did and save it in a nice well documented big zip lock bag.

Jim91Vert

Thanks for the response. Did the dealer do anything else other then remove the transeal and wash? Is there something they must check out or do mechanically or was it essentially ready to drive off the truck?

Why is there fishnet over the wiper stalk?

Very interesting post, by the way!
