You hit the nail right on the head claymore. They are one of the major reasons the cost of automobiles among other items have escalated they way they have. That and as you have said the greedy executive Bast@rds.

Budman,

Will our badge numbers be represented by date built or by date badged? Why are they so slow? This is ridiculus. Do you know if any of our cars had issues?

If we are badged according to badging and not build date then we will be in the 4600-4700 range at best, when only 4300 cars were ordered the entire first day.

I just spent my lunch driving over to my dealer so I could see the Chally they have on their showroom floor just to see if it was worth the aggravation I've been dealing with. To be honest, I went over already pissed off so my outlook was already going to be somewhat bad.

To be honest, I'm not as jazzed about it as everyone that I've heard from. First off the badge number on it, even though it has a higher vin than mine, was 326/6400. I sat in it and was hoping to be overwhelmed, but was not. Don't get me wrong. It is a beautiful car. Had I not been put through all the Bull I've been put through, I'd probably be the happiest person in Tennessee. But I'm having a tough time getting past the fact that my car has been sitting around for a month while other cars built weeks after mine are being delivered. Once my car does get shipped, it will probably still take weeks to reach it's destination. If I'm lucky that is. I've seen several on here that waited weeks in the rail yards just to get unloaded. Regardless of what my decision is, I hope everyone is happy with their cars and are able to enjoy them to the utmost.

Birddog,

Well it looks like they are going to make us wait until the very last possible moment for our delivery. They could have probably planned which line to pick up first, but obviously they didn't. I feel like you all of the luster is just about gone. Maybe we will get lucky and get a really flawless car.

Birddog/70sguy,

I definitely could relate with you guys. My car was ordered at 9:30 on December 3rd, D1 status May 21st and then eventually sat in the railyard since 6/18th to be delivered today. It is extremely aggravating. I've been waiting for the car since 2005. They have to be coming soon. Don't give up your car to someone that hasn't been waiting as long as we have been. You know your dealerships have a line of guys willing to jump in your spot.

Rick

They offered to let me take it for a test drive but I declined. Partly due to the fact that I would have felt bad putting miles on the future car of someone else. Especially with them having to spend 52,000.00 Secondly because I was afraid I'd fall in love with it. Also, I was on lunch and really didn't want to be too late. I was alreay 30 minutes late. I may still go by after work to take them on the test drive.
