CORVETTE TEARS OF JOY ~ 2 DELIVERIES & COULD BE BREAKING 2021 NEWS?!

[Music] well hi everybody and welcome to our coffee with katie show on our corvette only channel my name is rick conte thanks for stopping by thank you everybody for all the comments on last weekend's upload when we compared the 2020 production versus what our customers ordered there was a big disparity in some of the features on there and many of you had asked they said rick do you think you had any influence on some of those orders and how they turned out and i think i don't want to take credit for that but i think maybe just a little bit only because when you guys order the car we actually have a detailed conversation about the packages about the color combos about the seats about the wheels about the calipers in fact there was one guy that ordered torch red car adrenaline red interior and edge red calipers as i'm looking at a spec i don't want to offend anybody because you guys have a vision on how your creation is to look but i said hey can i make a suggestion he said sure rick go ahead i said well you've got your bright red car you have your bright red interior and you have the edge red calipers maybe consider the bright red calipers oh no i built it on the configurator and i like the way that looks i said well here's the thing the configurator doesn't fully depict exactly what that car is going to look like the edge red caliper is more of a burgundy caliper it doesn't have that glossy sheen that the bright red caliper does and we talked about it we switched it over to the bright red when his car came in i said hey by the way right there is an edge red caliper that you were going to put on your bright red car and he went oh wow he goes thanks thank you so much i had no idea so you've got to be careful with that rather than just taking the order and putting it into the system we have a conversation so when you get to the point of actually getting your car and i know that's a long delay longer than a lot of you would like it to be but when you get to that point you want to have that extra sense of pride because that's what this car is corvette is that sense of pride and accomplishment it is truly an american icon that's actually kind of our theme today the emotional attachment that corvette generates unlike any other car is really something special it really is different and for me it's a great honor to be a part of that i apologize i didn't get the video up on saturday that i wanted to but i'm kind of glad that i didn't i want to give you on tuesday we'll do this i want to give you a different perspective one that you've not seen before on the operation of the c8 htc that is the hard top convertible show you a different perspective and how that top operates coming up tuesday license and registration please i'm gonna have fun with that one then we're gonna feature your beautiful rides on tuesday so thanks again for joining and supporting our channel i do appreciate that although i did get as promised the corvette christmas tree up that should have been up a long time ago in fact you should see when people walk into my office little kids big kids they just love seeing the tree all the ornaments the santa clauses inside the corvettes some of them have presents inside the corvettes that's awesome just to see their faces because that's what corvette does to just about all of us also in the video on the friday viewer mail segment at the end of that video thank you for all the text emails and phone calls i stayed two hours after close yesterday getting back to as many as i could and that car is sold going to dennis and doris in california thank you for the support of the youtube channel thank you for your flexibility and anyone that has this plate on their mustang is pretty cool in my book [Music] that is awesome isn't it i can't wait to see that plate actually on your c8 corvette so when your car is ordered and it gets to a certain part we can see the vin number that has been assigned to that car before it's actually completed when it's completed then we can see the full vin number so a small update real quick on some of the 2021 orders we've been talking about dennis endorses car is going to be vin 899 and steven michigan your 21 red convertible is going to be vin 85. curtis in kentucky your red convertible is going to be vin 642 gary and karen here in ohio your red convertible will be vin 213 and john in ohio your red convertible is going to be vin 437 i've got another situation brewing right now i'll update you on tuesday's video but i'll put information in the description of this video right now so scroll down and stuff we talk about the video and then look down there's another car that very well may be available to 2021 that's being built it's a yellow coupe red interior black wheels yellow seat belts wild crazy and fun it looks great on this car you guys um kind of a nutty situation that should not be this car should not come available kind of direct result of how another dealer is treating one of our past customers i don't want to get into it in detail right now i'll update you on tuesday in brief and then another video we'll follow up and talk about some of the crazy stuff that you guys go through trying to buy this car but uh if you're interested in that car contact me via text my cell's up on the screen my email is up on the screen that's the best way to get a hold of me there because if you go through the dealership line goes through a call center easy to get lost and i'm going to pay attention to the direct emails and the text messages first so look at the information on that card if it's something you're interested in in fact that has been 140 the car is going to be built on monday and again if i didn't think that it was going to be coming available i wouldn't bother mentioning it now so check out that information reach out to me if in fact you are interested and cut that stupid breaking news music come on now i no drama on this channel just want to share a little something with you this will probably be where you heard it first and we'll keep you updated as this story develops and this is something that we kind of alluded to last weekend and we're afraid of and it looks like it might happen a little birdie told me and i want to thank my birdie buddy for sharing this information with me it's unconfirmed but a chance it will happen after the first of the year that corvette will go back to one shift because of parts availability and this will directly affect allocations it'll affect availability of the 2021 corvette so we'll keep you up to date with that we hope that that is just a short duration we all anticipated something like this would happen let's face it you guys know this car is more complex and it takes longer to build so on one shift there's no way they can achieve the goals that they want to that we need them to for overall total production so stay tuned we'll keep you up to date on that story our coffee with katie show continues thanks again everyone for joining us and you saw the title of today's video tears of joy well yes that's that emotional attachment that we're talking about with corvette that i get and i just am so proud to be a part of and share with you on the channel today let's have some fun with dale from illinois as he picks up his 2020 hardtop convertible well that's how you do it if you're going to deliver a convertible you put the top down so when the customers get here and they see their new convertible it's like yeah that's a convertible that's my convertible that's dale's convertible right there from illinois and mama's trying to hide already she goes don't you get me on the vlog i seen you do that and you whip that camera around she goes don't do it mom's been awesome
