[QUOTE="pozi240, post: 247603, member: 7335"] Yeah, I just saw Rick Conti's video on this. [URL='https://youtu.be/fBXgrgoPnFo']Rick Conti - 2021 orders[/URL], Anyone else find him a tad annoying?? LOL. Anyway. What am I missing here, like I said on Rick's video, a 1100 status order without an allocation isn't really an order at all... any Chevy dealer can go into workbench and enter a C8 order even knowing full well they will never get an allocation for it.
