The written word is incapable of gracefully denoting a sarcastic comment.

Decromin, please take note of that fact, because I took it as rather insulting also.

And, if I got to join the GM Performance division and OCCASIONALLY get to work on a real project, I'd be more than happy to clean the water coolers.

Hey, RP - taking any resumes?

actually, I took it as a joke! (and sure hoped it was meant as one!)

(and hey, I went out and looked at the water cooler and gave it a quick dusting just to make sure!)

(actually, we don't have water coolers........we have soda/bottled water machines....but I made sure I Zaino'd 'em right after they arrived...............................)

As to Bob Lutz' comment........chill out. Just as you should never judge a car/truck by a picture....understand that context is everything and it probably isn't wise to jump to conclusions.

As you see Red, the natives are getting a little thin skinned. here.

It all goes back to my comment....just because they aren't working on a car that is now called Camaro...doesn't mean that they are working on one that could be a Camaro

See earlier in this thread... it appears Mr. Lutz was making a joke based on the fact that GTO was gone 30 years...

Makes things wrose when taken out of context.

Whoops!

Oh well, I don't feel to bad though. I am just getting tired of hearing all the BS from the ford camp.

It's easy to take quotes like that out of context when we are all on pins and needles so to speak. I guess it's just time to be patient, sit back and wait...

And the good news (at least in my view) is that you all feel so passionate about the Camaro......

does this mean if we pull up to GM's HQ and do a big mass burnout they'll get the picture too?

Have we forgotten the subtle hints written by Red Planet over the past couple of years? If so or if you haven't seen those hints let me remind you. He said read "All Corvettes are Red".

When you read that book, formula79's brief quote above become very crystal clear. If you don't have time or you're simply too lazy to read the book then click and read the brief commentary on it here:

Has Chevrolet Abandoned The Camaro?

I hope you never doubted that.
