My wife renewed our relatively new car (2 years old-the one we drove up to visit you) via email/mail. Paid the fee...and no stickers came.


Called the MVD and waited an hour to talk to someone...they said, "Sorry about that, we'll mail a new one out right away". Waited 3 weeks, no tags.


Got back online paid 5 or ten dollars for a duplicate-waited two more weeks...and the initial tags we paid for showed up...almost 2 months later.


Wonder if the second or third sets will ever show?

I suspect it is simply a scheduling problem with the trucking company at this point. Unfortunately these are strange times. My C8 deposit was placed over four years ago. The car a HTC was finally built today. I won’t see it until late October. It was three weeks from production when the plant shut down in late March. It’s frustrating but I know people who have not worked since March because their work requires Airline travel, times are indeed strange.

You'll probably get the car in a week or so. For us here in North Texas, it has been taking 7 days on average to get C8s after they're built.

I like that plan

I live a few miles from the Truck plant in Flint. There are acres and acres of new trucks sitting at the plants parking lots. There are so many new ones already built that GM has leased numerous large parking areas throughout the county, and those lots are all overflowing. The plant is working seven days a week building them. I'm just not getting why they say there is a shortage on new trucks.

I may have to go Chrysler on a truck. I give him till oct 13 like he said, then that’s it.

Meanwhile up here in the great white north the C8s are coming in. I saw my first one today. From a distance it looked like a Ferrari. Jet black and super shinney. WOW!!!
It was nice. A good friend of mine will be getting his tomorrow. I guarantee it will be the fastest one in the country when he is done.

All license fees,tags and stickers are put on hold until further notice. Great. I got a refund from my insurance company the other day for lack of use of my daily driver. I also got a bonus from the government just because I am old. Life is good. We just need to wear a mask when ever we go inside any building and be smart. The biggest problem for me is no trips, no cruise nights, movies or dinners out. NP.

I've seen a couple here in SWFL, but lots of manufacturers come here to test their vehicles especially when it's winter in MI. I saw the new retro Mustang probably 3 years before it came to market, as well as other Mazdas and stuff with weird camo paint and body cladding to hide the lines of the vehicles. Also, Ford used to own a test facility here out in the Everglades as well so stuff would sneak out of there sometimes into public view.
