Congrats on the April 20 TPW Alexand you should give your dealer a polite thank you for having you panicking with that wrong order number ...for how many months?
Similarly, I was also given a 'GM guarantee' today that my car would be delivered to me in this model year, the RIMS being swapped out if the Spectras don't change with their supply problems. I was told it was 'iron clad' but when I asked if they would back up that guarantee with a 10K discount on a 2016 if my 2015 didn't pull through, there was silence....
also Bones, enduring mass confusion, unexpected hiccups, months of uncertainty and endless frustration seems to be part of the GM build process. I think, in the end, it improves the initial customer experience. Grown men have cried on their first sighting.

If you are crying and you are alone sitting in the garage in your Z06 and no one sees you is it still crying?
That is one of the best I have heard yet. As amusing as it is, the wife knows that I will most likely just sit in the car for hours on end that first night; just me and my baby. We have been there before.
Oh and BYBY4RE you don't know how close I was to heading up that way today. The wife and I needed a last minute escape and AB was right up there on the list, until I suggested Palm Springs and close friends we hadn't seen in a few years... so California it is early tomorrow am.. I can guarantee we will be up that way in the next few months in any case...
I hope that the crap that you guys go through in getting a car is exclusive to the Corvette line. An awful lot of people would be walking if they had to put up with this stuff just to get a car. In my 41 years at GM, I never saw anything like this. What is the problem anyway? It's not like GM is new to building and selling vehicles.
Congrats on the TPW!!!
I got an email from my friend Kaz last night stating that he just received notice, after several months of complete silence by his dealer, that his build date for his Z07 is 25 May. This is particularly good news as his order was one of the additional Quebec orders that his dealer stated he received 'in addition to' their initial allocation of 3 if I remember correctly.
LOL it's only a car Les, don't sweat it brother -- (admittedly one I wish was coming for me)......
Also people's rep means something these days (I believe) and they have reassured you at every turn.
Enjoy the wait. As Spock once said "having may not necessarily be as gratifying as wanting ........."

Congrats Alex....and only a car ?!?!?!? eheheh.
