Hey Mike, Now that you're back in a Corvette you may never need great customer service.:L :L :L ;LOL

There's a reason BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Ferarri have such great customer service, they have a lot of practice. (more laughing heard in the wings)......

But I'm waaaay off topic here..........

At least I know that if I ever feel like getting flamed I can always come here. I mean come on guys, I could understand if I said I wanted to go back f**d :confused , but what has everyone got against other highline cars besides Corvette? Reminds me of why I never joined the Corvette club in my area with my first Corvette and the reason I did join the Porsche club... the people! Even the Porsche club appreciates Corvettes, as well as other nice sports cars.
 
Living in Microsoft land, I think they called their last embargoed release Windows ME. It definitely wasn't ready for prime time...just kidding.

I agree with this, although I think Vettepilot was kidding and not trying to be insulting.

Personally, I have an appreciation for a lot of different sportscars and Marques. The Corvette happens to be my favorite.

How interesting, ...yet one can go to the search engines and find all the Z06 pics you want to look at!
I found the same picture on a dealer's website.
 
Hey Rob,
So I guess it is true that GM has guys checking websites like this to see what is going on and what kind of probelms folks are reporting on their products...Right?

H.D.

I don't know that embargoed is a strong enough word for ME...;LOL

Rob, all,
I know vettepilot was kidding... there's a family relation there ;) . He and I go back and forth all the time about Porsche and Corvettes, my point was not neccesarily pointed at him, but rather in general about the grief for enjoying my experiences with other cars, and the lack luster experience I always seem to have at GM dealerships, etc. But I'm done ranting about this topic. We all have our own opinions about cars, and I'm sure we can all agree that Corvette is the king in it's price class, and even to an extent, above it's price class. We can all appreciate that fact and move on. ... and go back to bashing Fords like we're supposed to. ;LOL
 
Good morning,

Well I was surprised to see that my comments were taken the wrong way, I thought the smileys would have been self explanatory. Guess not, sorry you felt like it was a flaming style attack, it wasn't mean't to be. Since we did get off topic in this thread I think I'll end with an appology so we can continue with the original intent of the thread.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...... The security goons reality show.

Like I said above, I know you were only kidding, I didn't take your comments as flaming... more of how the entire topic kind of turned on other makes. Guess I should have replied without any one particular person's quote included. Rough day and night too... maybe I was a bit "touchy". Anyway, like you said, back to the regularly scheduled program! :beer

How 'bout Desperate Housewives, instead?
 
You've got to remember, a Corvette is a Chevrolet. The same guy that does the re-ring on your '01 Z is gonna be tearing down a Cavalier that afternoon. I've even gotten the impression that there is a bit of resentment at my last dealer. (won't go there again.) I'd love for that idiot looking for Mr. Goodwrench in the TV commercials to find the winners working for that outfit!:eyerole

My wife and I also have a '97 BMW 328i vert. We're the second owner, and I get treated like they care what I think when I take it back to the original dealer for service. And I bought the car from the 1st owner, not the dealer. It's just a whole different environment. (and I paid TWICE as much for the Z as I did for the used Bimmer.)

This being said, when you find a dealer that takes care of you, go back, let others know about them. Also, some dealers are more accepting of modified cars. It would be a good idea to find one of these if you intend to mod your Vette. (not that I'd know anything about such things ;) )
 
Rob,
In the time I spent speaking with you in Carlisle I had the distinct impression you are a man that values integrity.


You are not alone.
 
Dealer Loyalty

Something that gets lost in all of this brand competition is THE point that Z06Tom makes. Being loyal to a dealer who DOES a good job for you and not throwing their hard work under the bus to save some dollars or get your car sooner. My 2005 convertible has a TPW of 1/10/05. I'm sure I could have gotten a car sooner out of state, but, my 1998 convertible (my first corvette) was a HORROR show, (42 trips to the dealer in 40 months). My dealer (Diamond Chevrolet in Charlotte) continued to waranty the car after the 36/36,000 was up because of the history of this car. Their service manager, Harry, approached me after the final electrical debacle with this car, asking if I would consider another corvette, and worked with the GM zone guy to get me out of this problem child car and into a 2001 convertible for the same lease rate and no money out of pocket. Martin, Diamond's sales manager, and I ordered the new '01 and he and Harry made what had been a nightmare into a great experience and have, in me, a customer for life. My long winded point is, most folks respond to being treated with respect and will go the extra miles to help. Everyone has a horror story about dealers, but there are plenty of right thinking, good souls out there that give a damn. They deserve our loyalty!
