Spotted: Sky On The Road!!!

This isn't a lie, but I didn't have a camera to take a pic to prove it Sorry

I was at home from school for the weekend doing the whole taxes thing. Home is Rochester, Michigan, so surrounding members may know the area. Anyway, it was a red one, spotted on Saturday around 4pm. I saw it on Walton Blvd at Adams Rd, by the Village. It didn't have a manufacturing plate, but it definetely had to be a testing GM owned car, since this is the area where you'd see these cars.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you anxious Sky enthusiasts that I spotted one driving around.

Cool. I've heard from a few people in MI that they have been seeing test SKYs running around. I think they're supposed to be for sale in next month.

We have had 3 around here driving around. One of my buddies even followed the dude home and the guy let him sit in it and he popped the hood for him. I have pics but they're on my phone and I have no way to get them off so I didnt want to post and have everyone go "no way man". There was a red one my buddy followed home, I saw a green one at a light right across the street from where I live and there was a black one my friend saw driving with him on the highway to work. There are also 4 "x" VIN numbered SKY's, (which means they cant be sold or titled) at my dealership right now, and they are all different colors. They look friggin badass. If they had a 1/2 backseat I would be selling my car right now and forget about speed but I cant live with a 2 seater.

I saw one on the road up here in Flint back in September. My friends and I were sitting in a drivethru and saw it go by (I was driving in my Vibe...thankfully thats gone) and we chased it down and got a picture on one of the camera phones...I'll try and find it. It was all de-Saturned (had a sticker over the front logo, etc) but it was most definately a sky.

Some preorder cars were delivered in late January, and will continue to trickle out up to the full release in March or April.
