Scott, now that you're back, the "New" GM... - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I really would like to know what the media has to do with any of this? How can the media affect things one way or another?

Constant GM-bashing and import loving. The US media's well known for this.

Scott, the company I work for made the mistake of offering packages not long ago. It was great for those who took advantage of this, however it was the dumbest company maneuver I've ever experienced. The talent that walked out the door simply cannot be replaced and we are paying dearly for it to this day. I hope for the love of GM that they do not make this mistake and I applaud you for not being of nature to want such an offering.

If ALL of the Camaro Family Enthusisast would pitch up a few bucks each for a good cause. I bet we could keep Thor in the family....what do yall say, I would be willing to donate $100 to save Thor what about YOU?

Save Thor!

I'm in for $100 as well! Scott has done such great things for GM, enthusiasts and for the dealers!

The media is a joke! Just look at magazines like Car and Driver or Motor Trend. Those guys are nothing but whores who sell there reccommendations to the highest bidder, at least it seems that way. Not only that, the cars they hype are usually ones that most of us cannot afford!

Let me at um.

I am so glad you will be continuing with GM.
Your perseverance is a huge part of why am I driving my Camaro SS/RS and I will not forget that.

I agree with about 90% of the comments here.

Welcome back Scott and I have high hopes for GM

Save Thor!

Master Z and Zabo -- Wow -- what can I say......

I posted this on another thread -- and I'll post it here -- Thank you for your kind thoughts --

Here goes:

I've been away and have been monitoring the sites a lil bit on Friday -- but completely missed the one that you started about taking up a collection for Thor.

First of all -- let me say that I am deeply - and I do mean DEEPLY touched that some would think so kindly of me. (and THOR!) It's things like this that make me stop and realize how rich my life is BECAUSE of people like you, ZABO, and so many others on this board and others - and the Camaro/Firebird Community at large. Thank you - thank you -- thank you for your kind, unselfish thoughts.

That said:

1. There are many people in this world that need help everyday just getting out of bed. (.....and then there are those who cannot even get out of bed.....) Those are the ones we all need to help -- and to pray for -- and to keep in our minds first and foremost.

2. I don't know what the outcome will be for Thor - I am hopeful that he'll be retrofitted at Milford -- checked over high and low -- and then make his way with some brothers and sisters to a GM auction where a dealer will buy him and HOPEFULLY he'll go to a good home.
I will say this: 12,000 miles and virtually NO PROBLEMS -- and he's a early one! This Camaro has been one of the most enjoyable and satisfying automobiles I've ever driven. (....and I've driven a LOT of cars and trucks!)

3. GM would prohibit you from doing that as long as I'm employed....strictly forbidden and I would be summarily dismissed.
(when I retire, you can all buy me a small country, ....'kay?) ( j/k)

Again - to all of my friends at Camaro5 -- God Bless ya! (and it's the thought that counts!)

Welcome Back Mr. Scott-er! I have missed seeing your posts. Is there a way the public can "lobby" GM as to where you will work? I think the more involvement you have the better GM will be. Great to hear about Bob....he's a car guy and gets it. Take care Scott looking forward to the new GM!
