the only way they will understand:
stop buying it we wanted an L99 vert with all the options and were willing to pay any price the car looked like a bargain in theory in reality it looks like it is not worth a dime so we changed our minds and went a little upmarket an bought a BMW Z4 S-drive 35i keep in mind: a convertible roof is not space age technology: even horse-drawn carriages had those kinds of tops! even worse: they know there are several probs rub marks, bow #5, water ingress, liners falling off, canvas detaching etc. they still have no fix for it but continue building the faulty stuff... |

Al's quote came out before the Indy 500 in 2011. The cars were already in production when he said it.

I can only imagine what is being said, but doesn't Rick Hendrick look concerned about something? I wonder if went something like...

This attitude annoys the hell out of me. I pre-ordered my car months before it was available. I ordered it from a great dealership 1/2 way across the country. When I got it, it went straight into the paint shop for 5 weeks for custom paint. Now, at a bit over 4k miles I have some rub marks and wear that I'm sure will eventually become a real problem. I work so I have very little time to take it to the local dealer....and until there's a real fix, what's the point? So they can put tape on it and accuse me of putting the top down wet? No thanks.....it's in the garage if there's any real chance of rain and the top only goes down dry. Honestly it could leak and I'd have no way of knowing about it. I totally understand the moderator's goal in keeping the flames low, I really do. Moderate is part of their title. I also feel that anger won't get us what we want, what will is resolve. The dedication that Drago, Sux2bU, Birdible, and others have put into documenting, fighting the good fight, and helpful hints to the ownership in general has been fantastic and I, for one, am grateful. I'm doing my best to keep calm, be patient, and accept that a fix will come. But having some idiot tell me to sell my car after putting in 8k of paint and take the loss of depreciation of a new car is just stupid. We have the right to expect our cars to be well-engineered and reasonable defect-free. We have the right to be heard and supported. And we have the right to gripe about it (not as in 1st amendment, I get that, I mean in general) when we're not, if only to support each other. Sorry, my Italian temper showed there for a bit... Tib

I'm right there with you... Unfortunately, I'm starting to weigh the potential value of bailing now versus holding on and dealing with these problems for years to come outta my own pocket.. Looking into a potentially beneficial trade right now at another brand dealerahip, if it doesn't work out, than ill be loosely in the market again. See which comes first- a true GM fix or a deal that I can live with on another brand vert. So much for the owners dream I wrote about in my build thread when i took delivery
