If you read between the lines, you can imply confirmation that GM has been working on next Gen Camaro.

This is clipped from an autoblog.com article on product development work that GM is delaying due to COVID-19...

According to the Detroit News, work has also been paused on the Chevy Camaro and a future version of the Corvette that has yet to be unveiled and wasn't planned for production during the 2020 calendar year.

Hard to stop working on something that you aren't working on.

My fifty quarantine, also with full cover, hahaha.
The only difference is that he doesn't work, lol
I laugh for not crying.
I hope you are all OK.
God willing, it will be over soon.
Greetings from the confined Spain.
Be safe. And that is funny about the car being in quarantine.

Saw that and took the same from it as well as some other stuff recently.

The next Gen Camaro will be called the Emaro if Mary Barra gets her way. The next Gen Corvette will be called the Evette.

Hey guys, quick question. I was wanting to do something about the red lettering coming off of the engine cover and I was thinking I wanted to make it the orange of our stripes. I know I've seen this done on here before. Would anyone recommend paint or vinyl as the best option to do this? Paint seems like the better option, not sure the vinyl would survive under the hood.

I would agree. Go with paint. I plasti-dipped mine a couple years ago. From 10 feet away, looks great. From 3 feet away it’s a mess. I’ll be painting soon. On top of that, I had taped over the letters to avoid overspray. When I pulled off the tape, most of the red color of the lettering came off with it. So be careful with how you tape.

I don’t think Jim made it to CamaroFest last year. At least when I checked with him he didn’t think he would go, so I didn’t look for him. Now that I think of it, I don’t recall seeing Al there either.
