What happened at Oshawa?

So, I was talking to my mother who's an employee at GM. And she told me something bad happened in Oshawa on March 16th.

Then I checked later on the site and heard there was only 20 camaros made. Is something up?

She couldn't get any details because she doesn't work at all with the Oshawa Plant, I wonder if you guys know anything?

It has been reportted, not official though yet, that they built 150 on March 16th. Not sure what is acurate and what is not.

20 was the number they said they wanted to produce but they did the 150.

Hmm, and I heard the number "80" thrown around a couple days ago . Geez, I HATE when they exceed targets and build more cars than they planned on!



(assuming they aimed for 80, and actually built 150 ).

Actually, there was a problem. None of the cars built are for me. That's a huge problem.

Someone posted on another forum that their vin is #348 and was built yesterday so they are still rolling off the line. No problems to hear of yet.

I'll bet the bad thing that happened is the impala production was down due to the workers being busy drooling over the car being built next to them.

If I remember correctly, trm0002(sorry if i messed up your name, memory is a bit hazy) had his car built and was number 74 on the first day, so they seem to be doing fine.
