I reported on Thursday that my salesman had "found" two pickups in my favorite color.  He called me on Friday to say that he had left voice mail messages at the two different dealerships, but neither of them had returned his call yet.  I hope this doesn't mean that both trucks have already been sold.  With the strike going on, no new GM products are being made, so my purchase depends on finding one like I want in dealership inventory.  Hopefully I will hear something tomorrow.
