Well said! I hope everyone who was lucky enough to be assigned one has enjoyed it as much as we have :D

They sure were fun for roadtrips!!!

We are in the process of being transferred and will be turning our last Camaro in shortly....so I know how you feel :( Leaving the Camaro plant and the Camaro behind :(

Hope you score a great next car to dull the pain a bit!

Nice farewell address.:clap:

...what will your next vehicle be? A Volt? or one of the new Caddys? or....

Let us know. (We're car geeks too)

What happens to it when you give it back? Will it be sold to someone?

Hope you get a CTS-V Coupe for your next car. ;)

Jim,

Like I told you in my last PM, driving #296 around has made me completely rethink my plans for the new camaro. I've already got a track car.... or two. and I would be more than ok if #296 never got the "correct" interior. I'd keep it just as it is. I know I didnt spend as much time with 296 as you did, but I understand exactly where you are coming from. I spent less than a full day with 296 and fell in love. I hope you and Lisa get what you want in a new camaro, and I hope that it lives up to 296's reputation. It is a sad day. in fact its pouring rain outside right now here in charleston. I wish you two the best of luck in getting the car you want (if you cant have #296). Keep us posted on what your plans migrate to in the future.


Spike.

Thanks Heather, I hope the move goes well. It was actually your post from your Florida trip that got me started here. So my addiction to this site is basically ALL YOUR FAULT. LOL

That depends. The new program GM just implemented rotates the assigned cars to even more drivers to get more miles for the quality evaluation. It could be back in service for up to another 4 months with another assigned driver. But under the old plan, the car would be cleaned up and sent to auction. In some cases, employees could be given the opportunity to purchase the car. We'll have to see what happens.

I like how you think. From you lips to the CTS Chief Engineers ear.

Take the car and RUN, #3!

I wanted to say thanks for passing along all your insight on #3 and #296 to us. Photos, reviews, random thoughts...all worth it! :happyanim:

Maybe you'll get lucky next year and be handed the keys to a Z28 'vert to drive for a while. :bow: :5thgenvert:

Sounds like this weekend would be a good chance for one last short road trip in #296. Enjoy it while you can!

:chevy::thumbsup:

Jim,

So very sorry to see 296 go.

But we couldn't be more grateful for everything we've learned and experienced through your willingness to share your time and entusiasm with us.

Thank you, Sir.

:thumbsup:

I'll pour a little out of my 40oz on Monday in remembrance....

Truly my pleasure!!!!

Ssooch, maybe the best offer I've had today. So far.

how bout a smokey burnout in remembrance?

:cry: I don't know what I would ever do if I had to give back VIN7085, my "ROCKETSHIP"....:cry:

:cry: That being said, I agree with everyone else's feelings that WE ALL FEEL YOUR PAIN...:cry:

:cry:I can't imagine losing such a good and loyal "friend"...:cry:

I wonder what happens if and when the Fbodfather :bow: ever has to part with his beloved Thor :wub:

I think we can all agree that we are VERY ATTACHED to our own personal Camaros and wish you and Mrs 3 all the best in your future endeavors and whatever car you are assigned next..........:thumbsup:

:clap: Thanks for the memories...:drinking:

With or without a Camaro I hope you stay with the forum. Thanks for all your evals, they were priceless to me.
