A little off topic, but it's from the same blog post from Bob... wow!

Talk is cheap. Let's see something get done, shall we?

As for the original statement from Bob's blog (sounds like a late night show on TV), IMHO, ya'll are kind of grasping. Maybe he meant something to be read into that, maybe not.
Then again, 'cryptic' is the game we seem to play here, and some of you are pretty good at being cryptic, so its quite possible that I'm just missing the boat. Again.

How does that relate to a targeted volume of 18,000 per year that he mentioned? One has to assume that they are expecting a BIG increase in sales. I guess?
I'm assuming it's more of a reference to the sales pace rather than actual sales.

Mark my words if there is not official press release out by october 2006 that says there will be a Camaro comming by no other name, then i am buying a mustang.
i have already been forced to decide to buy a new dodge ram over the silverado because they made those ugly, dont do this to me again.

Uh, ok. How many GTO's were there? 13k? 
Just kidding on that part, but seriously - how many of them were involved? In the big picture, would they make a difference?
