To play devils advocate, the car might be in a different spot on the trailer now as well. If the car is more angled up/down it could possibly affect fuel readings by ~5%?

Yeah, especially considering everything he told me so far doesn't go with what the GPS says. After stopping for 10 hours he has to stop for 10 hours because he drove too much.

Is your car loaded on one of those commercial car haulers with like 10 other cars? If so, he probably has to off-load it and shuffle cars around just to get to the one he's dropping off. Still, even if he has to do that a few times, it shouldn't even come to 1 mile on the odo. Do you know the exact mileage it was picked up with?

I don't know how big the trailer is, it is enclosed though.

Yes, already have myChevrolet app access. Salesman set it up before it was picked up. That's how I know the mileage and gas levels.

That's an idea. Guess I'll know when it shows up. Still at the same place it was 6 hours ago.

So I'm getting my paint match light out and giving my wife a crash course on paint inspection for the delivery.

SnakeEyeSS · 07-07-2023, 10:00 AM

It was delivered! Wife said delivery went smooth.

I'll post up some pictures once I actually see it later.

Congrats! Going to be a long work day, I think you might feel like you are coming down with something?

Thanks!

One of my co-workers was wondering why I even showed up.

I thought that would have been too obvious to call in

I can't wait to see pictures! Same car I am hoping to order this year but with an M6. I see you updated your signature too

I'm with @GenericID10T... you don't look good.

SnakeEyeSS · 07-07-2023, 04:17 PM

Needs a good bath, but already took her for a spin. Started raining 1 mile in so it was a short trip

ember1205 · 07-07-2023, 04:19 PM

Nice... Now to figure out the added a mile, lost 5% of the gas thing.

Even if its dirty, it still looks great! Glad you finally got it. Nice to hear the journeys people have.

The poor yellow one, looking on from the shadows in jealousy.
