Just got an e-mail from the dealership. They still have no idea when it will be shipped to them.
I am beginning to feel like a MUSHROOM.......Kept in the dark and fed sh!t all day!!!!!!
When I leave this room I will turn out the lights and lock the door.
Hopefully soon.....Very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be sitting here with you if I hadn't gone ahead and taken the dealer stock. I think mine ended up being one of the one's being held hostage on top of everything else. I never did find out was the issues were.

Hey Tiff. Are you enjoying the new ride? How many miles have you driven? Any long trips (highway miles)? Let's see some pics!!!!!!!!

[Angella]

soon 1981 z28!!! it will come soon!!! Well if it makes u feel any better mine is already in storage... its suppose to snow this week i wish i was back in florida!!

Well my BEST suggestion to you is wait it out! everyone was having problems with their verts and im having absolutely ZERO problems with mine. (**knock on wood**) they fixed everything up really nice! no lose cover, doors seeled tight, controls are great! i couldnt ask for a better car!!!

but the car is VERY VERY VERY quiet! u will want to put the exhaust on the first day you get your baby haha! someone told me to rev the engine and he bout died laughing when i told him i couldnt... but i dont mind! its a beautiful ride and so comfortable u can sleep in it!

Let me know what you hear about ur vert coming in!! ill go take pictures!!!!

[1981 Z28]

Angella Thanks for the encouragement!!!!! The exhaust will be going on it before I even turn the key for the first time. As soon as it comes off the transport truck. The dealership will take a video of it getting unloaded at the dealership. But if you want to go get some pics also I would love it. Starminder said he would get some pics also for me. Y'all have been so helpful to me and if you ever make it to Naples, I will buy you dinner.
Thanks Again!!!!!!!

So how is ther Vert? Gotta be a great feeling! I just received my TPW for 4/11. Ordered triple black vert and can't wait. The only downside is now I must sell my '10 2SS.

Let me update everyone on the status of my car...............
No update. Still sitting at the rail yard for 13 days and counting. Maybe if they would not have marked it "HOT" then I would have the car by now!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow will mark 4 MONTHS from the time the order was put into the system. Maybe I should order another one right now and see which one gets delivered first!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain. I ordered mine on 11/18/2010 and had a 2/7 TPW. Since I ordered mine it has been about 4.5 months. Mine was dropped at the rail yard last friday.

Hopefully our cars will get too us soon.

My car is chugging along through Ohio on a railcar at the present moment and my car was built on 2/7. My wife is going to kill me if I call CSX one more time for an update. Friggin car is going to be the end of me.

[1981 Z28]

Mine was built 1-28-11. At least I have my Harley to ride to ease the pain!!!!!!!!! I was on my bike all weekend but it rained today so I drove the car to work.

I asked the dealership to check and see if mine was one that was being held hostage and he checked and said no. It is sitting at the rail yard.

The weather here in Va. has taken a turn for the worse the past few days. Cold and rainy, even had some snow on Sunday. Not sure what would be worse, not having the car or having it and not driving it cause the weather sux

[Starminder]

Yeah...but....if it is sitting at the rail yard, isn't it waiting for a truck? Or is that a different company?
