I suspect it is simply a scheduling problem with the trucking company at this point. Unfortunately these are strange times. My C8 deposit was placed over four years ago. The car a HTC was finally built today. I won’t see it until late October. It was three weeks from production when the plant shut down in late March. It’s frustrating but I know people who have not worked since March because their work requires Airline travel, times are indeed strange.

I live a few miles from the Truck plant in Flint. There are acres and acres of new trucks sitting at the plants parking lots. There are so many new ones already built that GM has leased numerous large parking areas throughout the county, and those lots are all overflowing. The plant is working seven days a week building them. I'm just not getting why they say there is a shortage on new trucks.

I did find 2 places on the roof that looked like a fair sized fish eye. I wasnt too concerned about them where they were but not seen that on any of the trucks I have bought

When production started, GM used the old naval air station in Grand Prairie as an overflow storage lot while Tahoes/Yukons were going through initial QC. There was a mayfly infestation at the naval yard and millions of them landed on and mated on the Tahoes/Yukons that were waiting there. Many of them had to be clayed and buffed. Some were bad enough that they needed to be repainted.

We received one Z71 Tahoe that was there during all of this. I could tell it had been buffed on but it looked ok. It was black so it was easy to tell.

You'll probably get the car in a week or so. For us here in North Texas, it has been taking 7 days on average to get C8s after they're built.

Meanwhile up here in the great white north the C8s are coming in. I saw my first one today. From a distance it looked like a Ferrari. Jet black and super shinney. WOW!!!
It was nice. A good friend of mine will be getting his tomorrow. I guarantee it will be the fastest one in the country when he is done.

All license fees,tags and stickers are put on hold until further notice. Great. I got a refund from my insurance company the other day for lack of use of my daily driver. I also got a bonus from the government just because I am old. Life is good. We just need to wear a mask when ever we go inside any building and be smart. The biggest problem for me is no trips, no cruise nights, movies or dinners out. NP.
