Question What does RedPlanet do at GM?!?

Since he can no longer be the Assistant Camaro Brand Manager.

I heard awhile back he went to work for Jon Moss's special hi-po car group, but why would he be there?

Yea, Red's over at the GM Performance Div doing consumer related stuff (like managing relationships with the driving schools, etc..). He's also doing some autoshow activities, as well as a few secret duties.

Saying nothing about anything so he doesn't get fired.

I find no humor in that, in fact, I feel the opposite of humor in that, like extreme dislikeness (hate). If he jokes around like that again I think I might have to find his car and run over it w/ my neighbors monster truck

I thought the 30 year nap joke was really funny. He was referencing the Camaro to the GTO, returning after 30 years of being gone. We know Camaro will return sooner than that, so in the meantime, take it lightheartedly.

AHA!

See... that makes a lot more sense, and actually makes it somewhat funny... I didn't realize the connection because the quote weas taken out on context!

Thanks for this post! It should clear a little up, and at leats see where the humor was supposed to come from...

well that clears it up a ton! He probably said it sarcastically! Like you would if someone asked you something ridiculous.

"Will the Camaro ever come back?"

"Maybe after a 30 year nap *wink* "

It's all in how ya say it
