I'm in Wisconsin, dealer is in MN. Shouldn't take too long to get from Flat Rock to here, one would think.

(not so) patiently waiting a while longer,
Brad

on another note... any of the monday cars (june 6th)... pull off one of your back wheels and see if the nuts on the shocks are stripped. Mine are.

What made you look at this...I just took a look without pulling the wheel, cant really see the face of the nut, but the threads on the bolt look good...are your threads good or did they cross thread yours. Is this what you are refering to when you say stripped?

So how is everybodys quality, any issues...i have about 6 so far! i am just going to make a laundry list and when it first goes back to the dealer, i will present it then.
So Far........... both push pins in lower kick panals on the rear seats are just hanging there, wll not stay pushed in, bubble in paint on the door, right hand rear bumper is pull away from car, feels like a push pin that wont stay in also, pass side interior overhead plastic panel, will not stay up, you guessed it, another pushpin, missing a screw in lower front valance panel underneath(i fixed), chip in fron bumper( also I touched up), harmonic balancer already rusting, part should be painted in my opinion, will look awful in a year!

i'm talking like the outside of the nut... like if you put a socket on it to unscrew it... it would just spin around and around because the nut is now round.
otherwise quality seems fine so far

I had to have the right muffler assembly loosened and adjusted as the muffler assembly was not level (kind of twisted with one side higher than the other) and the tip was waaay off center in the cut-out. Looks much better now but still not exactly right like the left side.

Mine is fine in that respect, some idiot grabbed the wrong socket and stuck it on an impact gun.
Has anybody noticed the battery wears down real quick, left the trunk open for 2 hours last week and the cart would not even turn over, and today i went to start it, nothing, tried a few times and all of a sudden it turned right over and started right up :bang:
