And Daniel and I were just about to take delivery of ours!

General Motors dealers have been told to halt sales of 2,800 of the maker's new Chevrolet Corvette models because of a pair of potential problems.

The move is the latest in a series of so-called Stop-Sale notices issued by the Detroit maker as it has discovered potential defects with its various models during a year of close scrutiny. It is expected that GM will follow with an official recall notice for the Corvettes.

Damien's note: If you think Daniel and I would spend anything like $80,000 for a vehicle, you have never met either of us. Until this car shows up at one of the Unique Thrift Stores in Chicago, that ain't happening.
