[Tall Steve]

Remember folks, don't pay the ferryman until the ferry arrives at the other side.

it's only money and we can make more...

Have you got any word yet?

Nothing yet. I'll post here when I have something.

Anyone know anything about Midwest City, Sooner Yard? When I input my VIN into the Jack Cooper Transport link, it comes back with the car being bayed with an origin of Midwest City, Sooner Yard. I did a search in Duck Duck Go and came up with nothing on that. Rob's update lists my car as Delayed. Geez, I'm only about 275 miles from the plant. I could have picked it up and had it a couple of weeks by now.

Maybe here? Google Maps

Marfan and jph05v thanks for pointing this out to me. My question is, why the heck would a car destined for Erie, PA go there first?

If I were you @Tall Steve I’d be waiting outside Sewell like it was Thanksgiving night!

Security would run me off, lol...I brought a pop up tent this afternoon and they said I was scaring away customers....I'm now watching from across the street.... If I get arrested I may need bail money....

That does not sound bad at all......Saadallah has already told his crew to leave all the protective tape and stuff on mine because it's going to detailer first...

Question…. Im picking up my car from a dealer a couple hundred miles away from my house. Plan is to pu car and put on trailer , drive right to my detail shop. You mentioned sewell will leave protective covering on car. What parts of the car is protected? Do u have to sign off on the car as is , in case you get to where u are taking it, peel it off and there is damage?

If they’re in fact delivered by covered carrier, there should be little to no protection. In order for my dealer not to wash my car, I had to agree that I’d state in the survey, that we’ll all probably receive, that it was delivered to me clean.

Can someone here chime in (mirza?) if in fact for sure there is no protective covering on the cars from the factory? All i can secure at this point os an open trailer a buddy is lending to me…. Best way to protect it on the trip back?

I've talked to the GM about this and he said they would check the car real well as much as they can to insure no transportation damage and would leave as much protection on it as possible.. He is a car guy as well and understand my sickness of keeping my car nice..I was told they had a meeting today about my car and how they were going to handle it, lol..With all that said, I really believe that if something was wrong they would make it right.. When I say Sewell is a great dealership it's because I've been doing business with them for 24 years and I've always been treated right...They really go above and beyond! Oh, I don't know how much "protection" the car will come with, but when it gets here I will take pics.

To be clear, I’m not just guessing or, talking out of my ass. This is from personal experience from having my ZL1 1LE delivered by covered carrier. Pics and vids on my Instagram.

I'd be glad to be wrong, but the truck I looked up had what, 9 cars on it? Seems like too many for a covered carrier? And wouldn't a covered carrier be a flat deck, so no parts would need to be added later? I guess we'll find out awfully soon either way!

I don't think G.M. has used covered carriers since the Cadillac XLRs and C6 ZR1s , I know my C7 ZR1 was not in a covered carrier or any of the ZL1 1LE cars I have ordered .

It looks like G.M. has issued a recall affecting our new toys for improper roof airbag installation , so hope fully our cars will be inspected and repaired before shipped , if not even if your car shows up @ the selling dealer there will be a stop sell mandate until it's checked and I know for sure I would rather have the factory workers check my car than some one @ the dealership service dept. , the headliner may have to be pulled to check for proper install .

they may have already check them at the plant , it could be why some cars were shipped to the railyard then back to the factory then back to the railyard , I know my car has been back and forth from the factory and railyard
