Turns out mine came off the train in South Carolina - they had to drive it up here. So there should be several in South Carolina now.

Hate to tell you this but I live in Utah an no one has this car on their lot. There are a few dealerships (mine included) that have them built but they are stuck at quality control over the darn clamp. I am looking at 1-2 more weeks and this will be one of the first ones in the state.

I bought, BOUGHT, not put a deposit, my car over a week ago. When I signed the paperwork, the dealer had been saying for a week that it was due any day, so that makes two weeks since they have been blowing smoke up my ass.

I spoke with the "General manager" today and he had no clue where the car was. He was the same guy who called last week and left a message of "I hope your enjoying your new cobalt, thanks for buying from us". *******, way to stay on the pulse of your dealership and customers. I also spoke with my sales person today who said "the car will be here soon, we have two in transit, black and red". I said, you sold me a YELLOW, where is that? The paperwork I signed has a specific vin number and I can't arbitrarily change it.. WTF, are they all this F*cking dumb?

for the last 4 days I have been trying to get someone there to find out where it actually is, that's all I wanted but no one could and no one called until I pressed today.

I am so pissed and frustrated with this place and their customer service. I realize this isn't their fault but they should be able to get a clue and try to help a customer who paid for and is insuring the car he can't drive.

you are could be stuck at quality control. I ordered my car 4-20-08 and it was almost here then it got shipped back cuz of that dam clip. So now they are telling me it could be up to two weeks. I was so close to getting my car.

I suppose.

There are supposedly some dealers in Mass that have them.

Oh well, I can wait, it's just frustrating not knowing the actual status of it. If I were told it's in Quality Hold and will be there for 2 weeks, then so be it, I will get to work on getting something from GM to ease my pain

Mine is the one from Larry Miller...already have it shored up...paperwork in place. It is funny that the only ones I see out there are the black, red, and silver ones. Wonder if that is a coincidence? Perhaps imperial blue will take a little while? Doesn't make much sense but I guess that is the way it goes. I will definitely wait a week or two just to insure I get the imperial color.

here is the whole story...

wel wel my firends.. i took a chance for once and i got lucky.. i went to quaker steak and lube for an autoshow today. and these 2 SRT-4s were leaving showed there ass by revving the engine and there BOVs.... well they mistaked me for a S/C.... i said oh **** that. skittle wants to play ill C how i match up. fearing the worst... i figured id gwet only left behind a small bit. so i catch up to them on the highway but i veered off to go toward my grams place like i had intented on going before the car show. they exit also... guy in tyhe blue is wingless with gold rims and a CF hood. he get in the right lane and waits for me to get close and revs his engine again. i throw it in second and get by him and let off with mine. a lil surprised hes squeeling tires to show off. so as soon as the crotch rocket gets out of the way i slam it... turbo spools and im gone. SRT is having a hard time keeping up. i used the no-lift **** and pulled away. rounding a corner where cops are known to sit i brake and let him whoosh by. he motions for me to go to another street i said sorry.. i was just testing it out. thank you.... and took off. he went down the other way with his buddy and the bike... alot of adrenaline went through me. and afterwards i said to myself. WTF just happened... but. i actually beat the SRT-4... im still alil stunned.
